Hello I'm interested to connect ssd 960 evo 512Gb in enclosure through y cable one end in smartphone other to power bank, my phone is xperia xz1. Can this works?
not sure what you question is...
you want to an SSD in an enclosure to your XZ1? what is the problem?
It has USB otg and it is USB 3.1. Im Not sure if host and client is supported simultaneously but tell us your results
it will work if the ssd does not consume to much power (im not sure)
BUT there are external ssds that have m.2 ssd and an usb-c enclosure. this kind consume much less energy and work 100%
for example https://www.amazon.de/SSD-Festplatte-Kennwortschutz-automatische-Datensicherung-WDBK3E2560PSL-WESN/dp/B06XNN2WQM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520679280&sr=8-1&keywords=wd+externe+ssd&dpID=31%252BuAD1NQCL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
its all about powerconsumption. the only problem i ever faced with usb-otg

Hey guys,
I'm guessing that a full sized usb drive ( with external power supply ) would work no bother with the Ameo, do you knwo if one of the iPod sized external drives would work? ( would it be ok with with power drain )
thanks heaps

Hello,
I got a Freecom 1.8" 40GB external HDD to work, over an external powered hub.
But my old Ipod 1.8" 40GB HDD in an ICY case didn't seem to work at all.
Also with some different 2.5" HDDs I've had no success until now, neither with self-powered, nor with external powered devices.
3.5" drives I haven't testet at all - I'd like to use external devices in vacancies, so 3.5" is to big for me and requires 2 different voltages (5V and 12V) requiring an external power supply while the others requires only 5V which I can supply with my external 5V battery from Ansmann 3200 mAH (USB connectors as inlet and outlet).
May be it depends on the build-in controller of the external HDDs too.
But as the Hitachi drive in the Freecom case has an other connector than the Toshiba drive of the IPod I can't test it at all.
Hope it helps quite a little bit.

Not all working...
Lets start list things that works...
Thanks.
From post above:
1. 1.8" 40GB external HDD
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:
Hello,
I've bought 5 in 1 MHL adapter for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5in1-USB-OT...hash=item3abe751335:m:mYdZ0mYtBAtzUwzYCG21rtg
MHL is working great but OTG function with this adapter is not working. Is it wrong adapter or Z3 Compact doesn't support MHL + OTG simultaneously?
My firmware is 23.5.A.1.291.
I have a question for you, do try a wired mouse? More usb memory? 2gb, 4 gb, 8 gb, 16gb

Yes I have tried wired mouse, USB flash drive with less capacity and also SD and micro SD card, with no success. It is not working.
Did You try it with external power? MHL needs a lot of juice so when You are connecting both MHL and OTG, MHL takes all power from phone or too weak external adapter.

This adapter only works with external power. I've tried several external adapters.
Ok, so it can be incompatible with Z3c. I searched for one for myself some time ago and most of them (combo MHL+OTG) was for Samsung only cause it has some extra pins in USB port to separate OTG with MHL. Sony has standard 6 or 5 pins USB port instead of 12 pins like Samsung and thats why Samsung adapters wont works with Sony phones. I think only reasonable option is Chromecast/Miracast + standard OTG adapter.

Ok thank you for explanation. I found out that OTG works only without external power and MHL works only with external power. If somebody will found an adapter where MHL + OTG works simultaneously, just let me know. I have bad experience with Chromecast - delay in games is considerable.
Hi mr1uke, sorry for the late question, but could you tell me whether the limitation you said about the OTG (works only without external power) is in the Xperia Z3 or in the 5 in 1 MHL adapter ? Thank you.
Hi, I'm connected via the stock Samsung cable to a USB3.1 port running Windows 10 onto a fast Samsung NVMe internal drive. Latest Samsung drivers installed. Transfers from the phone (S10e SD) are averaging about 50MB/sec. I was expecting a lot higher speed. An SSD in USB 3.0 enclosure and good USB stick are transferring the same large files at 400+ & 200+, but the phone is barely above USB 2.0 speed. Am I missing something?
Sorry for the bump but i could confirm that the super tiny and short USB cable in the box is 2.0... I don´t understand why...It is that the cable was in the original S10 box otherwise i thought it was a cheap clone... It works great with USB 3.0 cables from Ugreen but you need to buy it by yourself...
I would assume you have USB 3.0 support on your computer if you have an NVME drive. If that's the case, have you checked the drivers for your USB slots that use 3.0 on your Windows 10 machine?
When you say transfer with other devices do you mean transferring to/from your phone or to/from your computer?
Yes, RyZen rig with properly functioning USB. SSD in a USB enclosure transfers same files at over 400MB/sec. Phone is slow in both directions. This is from internal storage, not micro SD. Hopefully this isn't "normal" for this device, I was looking forward to upgrading this speed over my USB 2.0 S7.
I tried another cable, same result. Then I ordered up some cables that were explicitly touted as USB 3.0 cables, and had blue connectors. Transfer speed jumped WAY up. It appears the cable Samsung provides is USB 2.0 only. Lame of Samsung to skimp out on the cheapest part in the box & make their flagship look bad in the process. Well, at least the stock cable will do fine as a car charging wire.
Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience with external NVMe to USB-C enclosures? I have a 512GB NVMe M.2 that I am using with a "Sabrent USB 3.1 Aluminum Enclosure for M.2 NVMe". It works beautifully on my PC on both USB 3.0 and USB-C. I formatted it to exFAT which i could access on my phone before but when I connect the Sabrent it only recognises a device that it provides power to and nothing else.
I tried it on my wife's Galaxy S9 and it appeared for a few seconds. Long enough for the phone to show the correct name of the manufacturer and for the volume to show up under "Files" but then it disappeared and I could not get it to connect again. I tried using a USB-C to USB-C device to no avail. It is as if it doesn't exist except for the light coming on. The enclosure itself works perfectly with my laptop.
Thanks in advance
i had similar problem with a usb 2 enclosure. Turns out phone didnt have enough power to power the hard drive. I managed to get a split usb cable, used that to connect enclosure to phone and battery pack

Thanks @imy300. The phone is perfectly capable of powering an enclosure with a 1TB SSD drive but not one with a 512GB NVMe one!
Now to find a split cable to test this
