I am not able to use my Z Fold 4 with ssd nvme enclosure.
I tried some enclosures with nvme SSD inside (Kingston and Adata) but no success.
The SSDs are formated as exfat and working perfectly in windows.
When I connected the rack to Z fold 4 it gets recognized by the phone but when transferring something to the ssd, suddenly disconnects.
I restarted the phone but same thing happens all the time.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi.
Can someone tell me what the maximum size memory stick I can attach to my Note 10.1 via a OTG cable as I would like to take some ripped DVD/Blu Ray films with me on holiday, just in case the weather intervenes.
Thanks
I dont think there is a limit as I can connect my 2tb portable hdd with no problems. Have tried a 128gb memory stick and that works with no issues.

Thank you very much indeed.
I've tried a 1TB HDD and it worked just fine. It isn't a flash drive (AKA USB Memory Stick), but if it worked, then I'd say that the only limit you have is the limit of the max capacity that the manufacturers use.
Just be sure that whatever you use is formatted as FAT32 or else it won't read.
NTFS won't read for certain.
Good advice on the formatting of the HDD. Personally I use ExFat. Better for handling larger capacity disks and the note is perfectly happy with it.
I have the Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 and I would like to know if a 256g flash drive will work? I watch movies and TV shows on the go, 64g is not enough (the Simpsons season 1 - 25 needs about 100g) I don't have a computer anymore just my tablet. I bought the seagate wireless plus 1tb and I couldn't get it to work, don't want to order a 256g flash drive and have same trouble. Any help would be great
Sorry no I am not rooted and due to the fact that I use my Samsung allshare cast hub daily and root items can't use the hub
Anyone?
Don't you mean SD card.? Some people say the highest you can go is 64 or 128gb
128 GB is the highest you can go

He probably means OTG cable with a hard drive. Simple drives tend to work the larger drives need more power to work via USB.

There is an available of cable that's a "y".....one leg is the USB and the other is another female micro USB for your charging cable. Can't remember where on ebay I got mine but it does work for my external hard drives with my GS5
128gb sd card is not big enough so I thought k would try a 256gb OTG flash drive. Has anyone tested?

This question left me extremely curious, so I have just purchased an OTG cable which will arrive in a few days. I will test out a few different EXT HDD sizes and post what the maximum my OTG will allow.
I do however forsee an increase in the discharge of the battery for larger storage devices, but we shall see.
Can't wait to see what u find
I'm gonna buy a sandisk ultra 64gb microUSB otg and I was looking for a bigger one but this must be the biggest one they have, can't wait to test it out. What I'll do is if my shows or movies won't fit I'm gonna have to erase the ones I've seen then try to make them fit. I suggest you get a 128gb micro SD card plus a big sized flash drive then you should be okay.

So I bought an OTG cable off ebay, and it arrived. I didn't change the format of any of my external drives as I don't have the space to store anything currently anywhere else. The tablet registers there is a drive connected however it can't mount the storage device due to an unknown format. The externals I tried were 2 portables (1x 500Gb usb2.0 and 1x 1Tb usb 3.0) and 2 desktops (1x 1.5Tb and 1x 1Tb both usb 2.0). Over the next few days I will attempt to reformat the 500 Gb and 1Tb portables, and the 1Tb desktop and see if that produces any results. Due to work constraints this may take a few days, so thank you for patience. Results will be posted as soon as possible. Current format of all the externals is default NTFS.
Another Option
There's another option in which would require multiple devices unfortunately due to the limited storage. Its a product I currently use myself called "Toshiba Duo 2 in 1.

Unfortunately I am still working on my other drives. There's is a lot of moving data around (limited to USB 2.0 speeds), so please keep posted on my other externals.
Is anyone aware of a way to get an RK3188 unit to work with a USB3 drive?
Are there any software fixes or ROMs that support USB3?
I have a 1TB Seagate Expansion portable drive that I am hoping to use with mine, but connecting it up leads to fairly rapid problems and reboots.
The first time I did so (formatted to FAT32), the unit only recognised it as 200GB and so I re-formatted it on the device. From this point on it causes a crash, followed by getting stuck at the boot animation any time I connect it.
I have a USB2 caddy and am happy to transfer the 1TB HD into this if required, but would much prefer to stick to USB3 if possible.
Any ideas?

For now there is no support for 3.0 whatsoever on these units. Some people however did report a 1TB external HDD to be supported, most likely externaly powered.
None include usb3.0 ports. Your harddrive should still be backward compatible and run at the slower speed, however would need a power source as provided power is weak
Does anyone have a recommendation for an external HD to use as "device storage." I've plugged in two separate USB 3 drives, and both times, I am shown a message that they're "slow" and that I should use USB3. wtf.
From their website
16GB
Expandable with USB 3.0 drives. When adopting storage, the following USB flash drives are recommended for best performance
(use of other drives are likely to exhibit slow system or gaming performance):
- Samsung 128GB BAR METAL USB 3.0 (MUF-128BA/AM)
- SanDisk Extreme CZ80 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ80-064G-GAM46)
- SanDisk Ultra USB flash drive, 128 GB, Black (SDCZ48-128G-A46)
- PNY Turbo 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (P-FD64GTBOP-GE)
- Corsair Flash Voyager Slider X1 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The 5.1 update fixes this issue with most drives. Update and try those drives again...
The annoying part is that those thumb drives are slower than any random external SSD.
Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to both a Shield TV and a Xbox One S so that it it is accessible by both?

You mean using USB? I don't think so. You can connect USB HDD to your router, share (most of them has such option nowadays) and then mount to both Shield and Xbox.

Hi all,
So, I just picked up a Samsung Tab S4, near new (in box), at my local pawn shop for $280.
It had no sign of ever having been used, smokin' deal, eh?
Quite the upgrade from my Fire 10, no?
I also found a likewise near new (in box), still wrapped in plastic, Seagate Slim (2 TB) for $20.
On a roll, right?
So, I've come here to ask...
1)Is it possible to view video directly off the hd?
2)If so, what power pass thru cable or dongle has anyone found to work well?
3)Lastly, for power I would like to be portable, so would a standard brick work or do I need a PD or IQ specific type?
I see there are plenty of dongles out there ranging from $15 - $75...any suggestions?
Simplest setup would work for me, especially if there was a cable alone I could use, I don't need a ton of ports.
Thanks, really!

So the short answer is yes you can play videos. The long answer is that your drive is likely formatted NTFS and while there are work around and apps that will let you utilize drives formatted as NTFS, I've found it just isn't reliable, convenient or consistent using an NTFS drive. Mine is a 1 TB drive. The problem with Fat32 is that there are partition size restrictions and file size restrictions - there are supposedly work arounds for the partition size limits, but files can't be bigger than 4GB. And some video files, particularly iso's, are bigger than 4GB. I think you are better off buying a 512gb or 1tb micro sd card and storing the video locally.
There are multiple threads discussing power formats and powered usb hubs. Mostly the hube will have full size usb 3.0 ports.
Power is complicated. Samsung does not use / is not compatible with PD or iq, and is not fully compatible with QC. They use a modified version of QC 2.0.

This is a few months old, but I thought I would revisit my reply. I may have been too quickly dismissive of the external hard drive idea.
I have a 1TB external USB 3.1 drive. It was formatted NTFS, and did Not play well with Android, even using Paragon's NTFS for Android. As I pointed out, exFat is restricted to 4GB max file size, and I had some ISO disk images on my drive. I had a total of about 600GB on the drive, about half video back up, the other half split between music library backup, twentyish years of digital images, and twentyish years of desktop document backups. The data I use most is my 3000+ book Calibre library. I also had two full size internal hard drives that I had pulled from my last desktop (and never replaced), along with a SATA1 to USB 3.0 powered adaptor.
So I backed up the video to one of the 500GB drives, the rest to the other, and reformatted the 1TB drive as exFat32. Then I copied the video excluding the few large ISO images along with "the rest" back to the reformatted 1TB drive. I was surprised there weren't any other files > 4GB.
I have two cables for the 1TB hard drive -- it has a wide bladed "micro B" port that carries power and data simultaneously. I have a USB 3.0 to micro B, and a USB C to micro B. So it works well, with both cables. With a hub, I can plug power + USB 3.0 hard drive cable to the tablet. With the USB C cable I can directly connect the hard drive to the tablet, and have experienced no problems with power delivery -- drive works fine, no stutters, but I don't know how fast the drain on the battery is. Certianly, you can copy files back and forth without issue. Browsing with Solid Explorer works well.
I still think you are better served with internal micro SD memory. I recently upgraded my 400GB micro SD card to a faster, 512GB PNY card for $90.
Many USB C hubs also have a micro SD card slot, so you can turn the hubs directly into a solid state hard drive with a cheap micro SD card -- if you have an old card, like I have the 400GB card I pulled, or you can buy a newer 256GB card for under $50. I have to imagine the power draw is much less, and the form factor is greatly superior -- my USB C Hub is ~ 40% smaller in volume, and is only 40gm versus 170gm for the hard drive (that is, a little under 2oz, and the hard drive is a little over 6oz). The micro SD card slot on the hub is spring loaded, and when it is loaded, the front of the card is virtually flush with the front of the hub. And it is easy to pop it into and SD card adaptor to put into a laptop.
Take care,
Joe
