I have the Toshiba 1TB external that connects with other tabs (no external power). The Note 10.1 "tries" but fails. Perhaps a power issue as this drive has connected with android tabs in the past.

I'vegot an old Buffalo DriveStation 1TB drive. It's an externally powered 3.5" disk with a USB 2 interface. Just tried it and it works really well. Films stream very smoothly and theres no delay in accessing files.

I possibly have the same drive. The only way I can use it is to use a usb 'Y' cable which has 2 usb plugs and 1 usb socket, you plug the hard drive into the socket, one plug goes to the tab and the other one goes to an external usb power supply i.e., laptop or usb mains power adapter. If you can't find one they're easy enough to make, just google it.
From what I understand, our Tabs don't supply enough power to run high power devices such as most usb hard drives.

If it's part of your home network and you have WiFi, you can use es file explorer to connect your note to your home network to transfer files. If you want wireless access for a drive that you can carry with you, you might want to checkout Kingston's wireless portable drives.

No i want only connect portable hard drive to my n8000 . I need to use this
Why no one have not solution for this ?

You note will not accept an external HDD as it has some sort of safety device built in to protect against device over drawing also do not try to plug in HDD with an external power supply one member tried it and it fried his note.
Just connect it to a network or use a direct wifi apps from play store which are more easy to transfer data, another way is to install All share on your laptop and share the folders

I connected my powered 1 terribite hdd by connecting the hdd to the power supply, connecting a powered hub to my note through an otg cable and plugging the hdd into the hub and works fine.
If your hdd isn't powered you may still be able to use it but you need a powered hub.
I also use paragon ntfs app as my hdd is only ntfs and not fat32

Well to be honest I've never heard of such a thing and if the power is too much it will just tell you and not blow up the note

Can you run a powered USB hub?

Hi all,
I have purchased a micro SD to HDMI connector (galaxy note to TV) and also a USB to micro USB connector (USB drives into Galaxy note),
I was wondering if it is possible to run a USB powered hub so that i can plug multiple devices into the note? (eg a USB drive, a wireless remote sensor etc)

Yes you can. I use a hub to run a keyboard and a USB stick drive. If you want to run a HDD I would recommend using an external powered hub. Some HDD require more power than the note can put out.

Samsung T3

The Samsung T3 external SSD is USB type C and is extremely fast. Using the stock cord that came with my phone I can make a twrp backup faster than to the internal storage.
Anyone else use one?

That's because your phone has to read and write from flash at the same time. My OTG cable and USB 3.0 drive i've had for 2 years os still faster than backing up internally also. But I agree, the T3 would probably super tots.

The T3 is also very fast with the computer. Transfers 5gb in seconds

I've tried hooking up my otg micro USB cable with flash drive. But 6p isn't reading. I figured it can't transmit data micro USB style. Is that why its not reading it? Have you tried that @Gytole?

I used micro usb otg cable, then micro USB to type c adapter, into 6p. Im saying I used a type c adapter and I think that's why it wasn't connecting to the flash drive but either way whatever happened it was not connecting and I tried numerous times I even tried apps like stickmount

Whether the nexus 6p works with exfat or NTFS formatted drive
Please confirm

3rd party app will mount exFAT-formatted T3

I just took another pass at getting my 6P to work with my exFAT-formatted T3, and this time around (Android 7.1.2) saw multiple paths to success.
Firstly, this time, when I plugged in my device, the system presented a notification, which led to a dialog asking if I wanted to "format the device for mobile data storage" – which would have meant reformatting to FAT32. Not what I wanted, but pretty cool that it was an option and I didn't have to go digging.
Secondly, a quick googling turned up a third-party app that will mount exFAT volumes. It's called Paragon exFAT/NTSF (I don't have permission to post urls here yet). I had to pay $5 for exFAT support, and it wanted Total Commander (free) to browse and operate on the files.
