im looking for a 1 or 2 TB usb hard drive solution for my nexus. Any suggestions? I'm rooted and have a otg cable that works for usb flash drives.

I have this one and it works very nicely.
You will have to format any drive over 32gb to Fat32 if you want to write to the drive from your device.

Or use a custom kernel with NTFS support, or a 3rd party app with NTFS support like StickMount.

That is only for reading the drive. Writing to and from the drive requires Fat32.

A simple search here in the Nexus 7 threads will reveal plenty of info and users who've successfully done so.

Oh really? Because I have stick mount on my Nexus 7 and it does not allow writing to and from a drive formatted in NTFS and neither does any kernel I have tried. I even made a thread about the issue and was told to try Fat 32. Lo and behold. That worked. It only allows reading from a drive. Kernels have nothing to do with it either from mine and many others experience. How about this, instead of telling someone to find said kernel, post a link. And if it does not specifically say 'NTFS read/right support on external drive' you are wrong.

Agree.
NTFS is a proprietary file system so writing to NTFS is always a problem, even in PC world. There is no reliable 3rd party solution for Linux, and we know Android is Linux-based.
THANK YOU!

Hey guys
I received a 64gb class 10 sandisk from amazon today, and when I first plugged it into the supplied reader my mac book pro gave lots of errors
Now the note 2 says either a corrupted or blank card has been inserted and most of the windows apps I've tried always fail to format!
Is there anything else I can try?

All you have to do is use disk utility on your mac and format it to fat32. Itll work after that. Very common.

Format it to exfat should be better for sdxc 64gb card. Since Note 2 and S3 offically support 64gb sdxc exfat should work right out of the box.

With mine it wouldnt even acknowledge that it was in the phone... again, common issue. Just formt it with disk utility. If you are using windows, google "fat32 format gui windows" and theres a program that works very well and is super easy.

Use 4ext to format it, if that doesn't work return it as faulty.

If you try to format it on your computer, I believe it will only do up to 32GB. I tried this once on a 120GB external hard drive, and the computer wouldn't do it until I partitioned it and made a 32GB partition.

Sounds like a dud man, either an imitation that just doesn't work or a legitimate SanDisk which is simply a dud. Exchange it and have your peace of mind, also test its read/write speeds and verify they match the typical Class 10 speeds, they should hover around ~10MB/s write, ~20MB/s read. If that isn't the case, it's fake; return it and buy it from a different vendor.

Here's thread about it:

i loaded 13.04 on my nexus 7 and i ran out of space and was like 'that doesn't seem right.' so i saw in gparted that i had tons of unformated room...so i went to format it and now the little dude won't turn on....i tried googling and didn't really see anything... btw i tried to boot into recovery with no avail. pressed the power button for like 5 minutes including various combinations with volume - the screen will not turn on. i also tried connecting via adb with no results.
any ideas?
Can you get into fastboot mode instead of recovery? And see if computer picks it up in fast boot mode?
Fastboot is where you need to be. When you flash the os in fastboot, make sure to use the commands given in flash all.sh. Otherwise, you could end up with only 16gb useable on a 32, or 8 on a 16, and so on.

If the n7 is reporting incorrect space due to a bad previous flash, this will not help. It will still only read the formatted space available. Fastboot is the only way to correct the incorrect space issue.

Sometimes, the wrong command can be used during a flash process, and can cause a larger capacity to be seen as a smaller one. There are no grouper releases for 32, 16, or 8 only. It is the same image for all. So, the flashall.sh commands help avoid it from being seen as the wrong size. That way, your 32 is not formatted and installed as a 16.

When you formatted it, it probably also erased the boot loader. In which case, you're screwed.

Dunno if any of you have tried it yet. Anyways it works, but does anyone know how big of a flash drive it'll support. I only had 2-4gb flash drives around to test.

should be at least 64GB but I would think even bigger if the drive in question was powered separately/externally
could you describe your usb otg setup?

I transferred files from my evolte to the one using a 16gb flash drive. My 2tb external is externally powered and worked fine on my evolte, I assume this will be the same.

So my One can read my Fat32 USB flash drives, but my 64g exFAT it see's as "Blank USB Storage". It says USB Storage Blank or has unsupported file format.
Just want to confirm if anyone else has seen this. And yes, I did reformat my drive and same issue... I'd hate to have to go Fat32 and limit my file size.
Peace.
exFaT won't work. It's not supported in any sense Rom.

Well crap. It also won't see the 64g drive when it's formatted FAT32.
That was a little embarrassing when my buddy read his 64g exFAT drive on his GS3 and mine fumbled on the goal line! HAHA
So, I gotta blow the dust off my 32g and format it fat32...
Peace.
Try NTFS.

Did you have to use an app like stickmount to mount the usb drive or does it mount with no help from an app? Just ordered the one off Amazon today. Can't wait to get it. Be coming from the optimus g

Hey guys,
Has anyone else experienced flakiness when trying to back up the internal storage to PC via USB?
In the past, I've had it work just fine, but now trying to backup/transfer to a replacement phone, not going so well. In Windows 7, I navigate to the HTC One, internal storage, select all files/directories, and copy them to a directory on my PC. It starts copying just fine, but somewhere in the middle, the copy operation just stops. No error, nothing. It looks like it has finished without error, but if you compare the two directories, not everything was copied. If I repeat the process, merging the directories already backed up, it will get more files, but still stop short.
What the hell is going on here? It looks like there isn't a clean solution to enable UMS in Jelly Bean, and I can't seem to mount the internal storage via TWRP recovery.
Any help would be appreciated! Don't want to lose any of m data.
Have you tried a different copying program like Teracopy? I don't use it personally, but people tend to have better luck with it when the built in copier doesn't work well.

I haven't. Never really had the need as Windows copy has always worked. Normally if there is an issue, it will report some type of error. I'm still stumped, can't get a complete backup pulled from my phone, and need to send it in to avoid being charged.
Help!

coal686 said it right, teracopy really works well.
Just tried it, and Teracopy won't let me add files from the One
Arg, TeraCopy, UltraCopy, and FastCopy, all can't see the files on the one. What the hell was so wrong with mounting as an external drive. The "portable media player" BS is lame.

I thought that was pretty dumb too. Maybe try one folder at a time? It'll be slow, but maybe everything will eventually copy over.

That stinks. Have you tried a different cable? My 3D wouldn't charge when plugged into the wall and after a lot of troubleshooting, it turned out to be a bad cable. Maybe your cable is flaking out too.

Thanks, unfortunately, that's not it... I've tried multiple cables.
Is there any way to mount the internal storage in a different way? Maybe through recovery?

Well i just started copying via Airdroid... Speed is almost 1 MB per second. will update if its not going to be successful...
