I recently bought a NVMe and NVMe enclosure to backup files from memory cards so that I can go take pictures and back them up.
I'm using a Type C hub with Power Delivery, and when I'm moving picture files from my phone to the NVMe, it suddenly looses connection and the file transfer stops. It's impossible to reconnect the phone and the NVMe unless the NVMe gets connected to a computer and get chkdsk
After hours and hours of testing, I figured out this happens when the NVMe is connected via USB 3.0 cable. When plugged into a USB 2.0, the from the original package it works fine.
Since I want the backup to be fast, I want to use the USB 3.0 cable but I can't. Does anyone know why this happens? And possible solution to this problem??

Hi friends. I have a 1TB Sony hard drive(NTFS,2.5") that I would like to connect to my xperia Z(Lollipop 5.1.1). If I connect the HDD to my mobile using OTG cable,my hard drive is not getting detected by phone.so I tried using stickmount.when I press mount, my HDD gets detected for a split second and then vanishes.it shows unsupported format/damaged USB.so I tried another two apps.paragon and ntfs mount.but still my HDD is not getting detected by my mobile.so can u guys help me on solving this problem?
Use only HDDs with external power(split "Y" USB cable or second port for power).
Phone cant just like that power it self and 1TB Hard Drive. I tested my xperia with few drivers, and most of them work only for few minutes if they didnt had external power. And also its should be exFAT or Fat32
Also You realize that you can Mess up your HDD when you connect disconnect power to it?
Even if modern Hard Drivers automatically park head to start position when not used, you still can damage it by powering it on/off when connecting to eg. Phone.
Remember that its still a phone, even if it have Raw power of old PC and android have lots of customization options, its still pretty dumb device in terms of working with other devices(and for ACTUAL work).
Im using every day flashdrivers OTG and microUSB ones, but when I connect my external HDD I always use my power bank and "Y" shaped USB cable, because I know that phone cant handle it for to long without a problems.
Also "Y" shaped USB cable is cool because you can always charge two devices at once So i keep it close to my power bank in bag.
But i can connect the hdd(with the ordinary USB cable, not the Y shaped one)to my brother's mobile without any power source and it works perfectly. He is using Huawei honour 4C mobile.

Hello, i've bought a galaxy note 5 a week ago. N920C, international version, Marshmallow 6.0.1, not rooted. I was able to get a 32gb variant only, i though that's not a problem, i will increase my storage via USB OTG with Micro SD card reader or USB Flash stick! Today i received all the parts, i've spent whole day trying to find out why it doesn't work, i've downloaded many apps to check OTG compatibility and driver condition. My device recognises the connection when i put in USB OTG cable only - when the screen is off, i connect OTG, screen lights up. Also throubleshooting apps say the same, the device knows when OTG is connected.
The occuring problem : when my phone is connected with OTG cable, i also connect my USB Flash stick / SD card reader / mouse / keyboard / another usb flash stick --> Nothing appears on the screen, file managers show nothing and the troubleshooter stops at recognised OTG cable. Other connection tests won't pass any further. Troubleshooter conclusion - "System NOT Detect USB OTG Signal"; (App name: USB OTG Checker).
After buying a decent high-end device i expect it to have availability to expand storage space via USB OTG, although it was written in phone's specification list. 90% of note 5 devices on the internet say it is working perfectly and i would like to get mine going too :|
Got a Moto G6 a few weeks ago (not the Play or Plus). Android Oreo. The charging cable that came with it works great, but a little loose, but I need more than 1 cable around, and too short for my other uses except for night time charging. I since bought a 10 foot USB-A to USB-C cable on ebay, as well as a micro-USB to USB-C adapter at Five Below. The ten foot cable is very wiggly in the G6's port, and often does not make connection to charge. If I pick up the phone, will hear the USB disconnected signal on my PC, and then will connect again, randomly. The adapter is in-between, somewhat loose, and only disconnects when using the phone sometimes. Again, the OEM cable is a little loose but works fine. Also, the ten foot cable and adapter when connected won't let me transfer files to/from phone,while the OEM cable will let me transfer files fine. It lets me open to view files after choosing "transfer files", but then hangs and get "a device attached to the system is not functioning" on both my Windows 7 PC's when I try to copy files either way or delete. Bad USB port on phone? So what is going on here with both these problems? Also, how do I get the phone to beep when the cable is connecting or disconnecting? I don't see any setting. My old Sammy would give a tone each time. Thanks.
PS I tried to see if the USB port was loose with a toothpick, and it seems solid, so is there special USB cables?
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
