I have a HDD 3.0 and I want to connect it to my galaxy note 10.1, but it isn't successful (usb 2.0 is ok). What must I do?
Hi,
Make sure the drive is formatted to Fat32.
If you are rooted you can use the paragon ntfs app.

It's not successful. My HDD is 1Tb, so it's too big for note 10?

Correct. Note 10.1 does not have the power to handle a hdd, only flash drives.
You could try streaming from the drive to your note over wifi? Although that would only help at home.

Are you asking how to connect the HDD to your Note 10.1 or how to connect it AND get USB 3.0 speeds? I see you say that USB 2.0 is ok, so does that mean you can get it connected?
If you're trying to get a USB 3.0 connection, you won't be able to unless your Note 10.1 USB adapter supports USB 3.0.

Yes, I'm asking how to connect the HDD 3.0 to my Note 10.1. I tried to connect it to Asus Slider, it's ok. Samsung doesn't support for Note 10.1, while Note 10.1's hardware configuration is stronger than Asus Slider

Do you have any other USB hard drives or USB flash drives you can try? It sounds like a problem with your adapter. What kind of adapter are you using to get a USB port on your Note 10.1?

Hold up, you have a USB 2 USB flash drive that works or a USB 2 HDD that works?
No-one that's been on here has said they can get a portable HDD working. A message, "High Powered USB Device Has Been Detected" comes up and the HDD doesn't work. It has to be a powered HDD...
So, if you can get a USB 2 HDD working, powered by the Note, we want to know what brand, size and adaptor brand and where you got it...
Otherwise, no you can't use a Portable HDDon the note 10.1 unless it's powered... Forget USB 2 or 3, it just won't work...

Amen to that. My now-departed Toshiba THRiVE 10.1 had that capability and I miss having that feature on my Note.
Not sure you be lucky to get USB 3.0 to work since Note 10.1 has a 2.0 USB.
USB 3.0 is not backward compatible, same with PC that have only USB 2

USB 3.0 IS backward compatible with USB 2.0. I have a USB 3.0 HDD plugged into my PC's USB 2.0 ports right now. I just don't get USB 3.0 transfer speeds.
I'm with the majority on this one. I don't believe that the HDD being used is an externally powered HDD. The Note 10.1 can not power a USB HDD that large.

USB 3.0 is compatible with USB 2.0.
The only problem is HDD power and file system.
get a IDE/SATA to USB 2.0 Cable! or a USB Y cable.
so you can supply extra power to HDD.
also OTG Cable:
APP: Paragon NTFS & HFS+

Thus negating the portability of the note... If I want a Desktop I'll use the one I have already....
Only other option is to use a wifi enabled HDD (like Seagate Goflex satellite Pro in both 500Gb or 1Tb versions now)... Works fine but REALLY eats into your battery life....
Anybody ever tried with an external usb drive with ssd?
Still cheaper than sd cards and more convenient, but don't know if power from the note is sufficient
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Bit expensive for something I can use a hell of a lot cheaper usb drive for... Not even sure it would work if the note detects its a HDD..
The problem is not that it's a hdd (a friend of mine has a 250gb drive which works fine when attached to my note, though it's not manufactured anymore), the problem is power. As i assume that an external drive with a ssd draws less power, it *should* work, but before actually buying one, I'd like to be sure

shouldn't this be a kernel problem ?
i also can trick my note to accept my xbox360 controller even while it should give the same message about high performance device.
(first i attach the x360 controller to the otg cabel and then i attach the otg cabel to my note...it works :victory
however i cant get my hdd to works with that method but many other tablets have no problems with high performance devices and thats because there is no restriction in the kernel.
is there a kernel for the note 10.1 that handles this problem ?

with the use of a ssd i wanted to circumvent the use of another kernel, because hopefully the ssd just doesnt need that much power. However i'm not certain about that, hence the question

I've been searching all over and I cant find a definitive answer on this.
I have a Toshiba portable USB hard drive that gets its power from the USB connector (it does not have a separate power supply).
Can I hook this up to my Xoom and watch movies/tv shows from it? Does the Xoom support USB hard drives or thumb drives at all?
Sorry in advance if this has already been answered.
Thanks
Yes but you need a USB OTG cable. Not sure if the Xoom will power an external hard drive that runs off of USB only though, you might need to get one if those cables that splits off for power.
I can't get anything to work, even with a USB OTG cable, and I have 3.2 installed.
When I bought the cable it said this ...
This adapter allows you to plug a USB memory stick pen drive so you can play music, videos, backup & transfer files and view photos.

The Motorola forum says it can't be done, yet.
Others say you need to root the phone.
I'm sure you need to unlock and install tiamat rom I think?
I'm new to these forums as of today,
But i've read around the forums, and it seems to me that 3.2 doesn't support USBhost, and therefore PENdrives/USBHDD's cannot be used.
As Kippui stated, you will need to use a custom ROM with USBhost support, before you will be able to use the HDD at the very least

Not true about the newer Passports, for example. I have a 1st generation 250GB Passport that can only work if I use a powered hub, but my brand new USB3 650GB Passport works fine and is fully powered by the Xoom.
Please note, I am unlocked, rooted, and running a custom Rom/kernel that supports USB Host Mode.
Stock Honeycomb does not support USBOTG/host mode.
xoom 2 support usb otg with stock firmware
I would go on eBay and buy an Angled USB OTG cable. I got two of them on their for around $7-$8. It's better because you don't have a wire sticking out of your tablet.
I'm paranoid on breaking my ports.

Hi, looking to upgrade to a better tablet, currently between the Note 10.1 and an Asus TF300.
I really want to get the note but need to be able to use a hard drive for taking my movie collection with me when I'm travelling.
For Asus TF line, this is as easy as hooking up drive via the docks USB port. In my case I have a Seagate GoFlex drive, which is also powered via the same USB connection.
What I'm wondering is if anyone who has a Note 10.1 and a USB adapter has had any success in connecting up a drive and whether or not it works, powers up, mounts, etc?
I know NTFS is not supported by the Note so willing to root and use an NTFS mounting app from Google Play or format to FAT32 if necessary.
I'm going to be getting new tablet mid next week so need to know as soon as I can. Can't find any info on this anywhere, just general comments on thumb drives.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Has anyone been able to try this?
Had a quick play with the Note 10.1 yesterday in Carphone Warehouse, really like it. Spoke to a Samsung rep who was there but she didn't know either.
If not I'd have to get a Seagate Satellite Wireless drive to stream movies to tablet. As that's around £140 - £180 extra (for 500GB) that increases the total price dramatically as I could just use existing portable drive on the TF300 (which is currently having Jelly Bean rolled out in the US, so UK won't be far behind).
Overall I prefer the note but this is really making it difficult to choose.
sadly I've not seen a USBOTG connector for the Note 10.1 yet. I do this on my S3 with no trouble at all, so as soon as I find an OTG cable for the Note I'll test this. Anyone out there know if the adapters for the Tabs are supposed to work? Rumor is that the HDMI connectors do.

I've read in a few different places that the Tab OTG cable still works fine as it's supposed to be the same 30 pin connector. I was going to get one this I saw on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Connection-...VZ70/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1345401137&sr=8-6
Less bulky and shouldn't get in the way when putting tablet on a stand.
Thanks for testing it if/when you get a cable. It's definitely appreciated.
Ordered one (slightly different as I'm in the US), should be here in a day or two. Will report back!
I haven't tried my OTG adapter yet, but I think the original Tab 10.1 adapter should work. You may need a hard drive that is externally powered - the tab may not be able to bus-power a drive.

Yes, same results as an externally-powered hard drive. NTFS might require some sort of hacks.
it doesn't support the small external hard desk, i personally tried the WD my passport 1 TB and another one with 500gb, it doesn't power it up, however i have a usb otg with a power supply input and it did power up my passport but its useless this way, where the T700 asus keyboard dock powers up any external small hard drive why samsung ! the note is not yet a replacement of a laptop unless it supports hard drives

Thought this might be the case
If I get this tablet, looks like I may need to get a powered hub if using tablet near a power supply.
Not ideal though, may have to get a Seagate Satellite 500GB drive which can stream to the tablet via it's own wifi hotspot. Extra cost I'd have liked to avoided (£130+ in the UK).
Thanks for letting me know though, helps my decision making process (a little at least) on which tablet to get.

What I don't like about the seagate satellite type drives is the fact that you can only use them with pictures, music & stuff like that no file transfer.
That does suck, but my main concern is being able to access my media.
Shame about the extra cost tho.
In the mean time think I'll get a powered usb hub for an existing drive, which will have to do as a short term solution as this will be connected to tv via hdmi adapter at some point.

It wont power my 500gb WD drive on its own with both the generic otg cable and official samsung usb attachment.
Although my 16gb thumb drive had no issues with either connector.. Just watched some of The Raid Redemption in 720p fine.
Worse case pick up a couple of 64gb thumbs on sale for traveling.

Just got my USB OTG adapter. It connects the Samsung connector port to a USB femail port. When I try to plug in a portable hard drive there is a message that "High power USB device connected" but the drive doesn't spin and isn't mounted. Tried an Ethernet adapter and same thing. I have a powered USB hub and I connected to that and though the hard drive spins it isn't recognized/mounted. Tried connecting a USB flash drive and that isn't mounted.
Ideas?

The original adapters should work with the Note. Unfortunately I lost mine or I'd test to confirm but the HDMI adapter works so I assume USB should too.

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.

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

You need to modify the USB cable, this way (I dunno if it works, since I don't own an OTG-compatible device).
