Does anyone have a Maxell AIRSTASH Wireless USB Flash Drive?
I was looking at wireless storage for my N10 and ran across this: Wireless USB
They are ultra portable, have an internal battery, comes in 8G or 16G and is expandable via SD card. How is it compared to other wireless drives?

I got a little USB OTG host dongle, regular female with microUSB to fit in the GN. One 8 GB USB memory I could read, but another (16 GB) said unsupported file system. What can I use in the USB slot? Keyboard? Memory up to 8 GB? Anyone know what the restrictions are?
Usb keyboards, mice, wireless keyboard/mice, ps3 gamepad, wiimotes, memory card upto 64GB have been confirmed. It depends on the card. You could try reformatting card if it's not reading correctly. Some cards just don't play nice with phones. Others are fake! I've had varying success with different card readers in the past.
Yesterday I had no problem with a 32GB memory stick, I'm kind of impressed with what this phone is capable of, seems I can even watch HD movies on a big screen.

I use 32gig micro sdcard with adapter every day. some 64 gig flash drives work fine also
I think it just has to be fat32 format
Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.

Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.
Thanks, u have photos?

Good info! :thumbup:
I bought an OTG adapter from china, it`s an microusb to an full size usb 2.0 port you plug your usb stick into it.
I have had an number to sudden reboots when i plug my Sandisk 16gb extreme usb 3.0 and an Sandisk 16gb usb stick
Both are formatted to Fat32 and have video`s on them.
Anybody else have this happen.

Yes, I said it and I am looking for it. One end needs to be USB C that connects to the phone. The USB C connector needs to be connected to a Micro SD Card reader using a super thin ribbon cable like they use to plug the battery of the phone into it's circuit board or a laptop keyboard to its motherboard and work sort of like and OTG cable, only it has a card reader on the end.
Why? I want to mount a second Micro SDXC Card semi-permanently to the phone (I can always unplug the card reader) but since the Emperor Edition is NOT being sold in the USA, I am going for 64GB internal memory, 256Gb in the internal card slot and 256Gb through the USB C connection. (When larger cards are available, then they will be replaced).
The reason for the ribbon cable, is I want this as small and flat as possible, no casing or housing around the external card reader so I can slip my case over it and it will be protected by the phone's case.
64gb + 256gb + 256gb = 576gb of space
64gb +400gb + 400gb = 864gb of space (New Sandisk memory cards)
To bad they haven't released the 2TB MicroSDXC memory cards yet..... and yes, I will fill the space. Don't worry.
Did you find one?
