Yes it is. You need a host USB adapter like one of this
I have one 4 in 1 adapter that have USB, MicroUSB and Memory Slots, portable hard drive also work in it.

Is ur portable hard drive in NTFS file system? if so, what app do u use to read files in NTFS system? I believe the stock app doesnt have support for NTFS system..

But, I would recommend that any storage you want to use with the tab be Fat32 format, since that is native.
Hey guys as the title say I want to know can we connect our device A110 to any hard disks so that we can use extra data.
I am able to watch 720p movies of size larger than 4gb via usb otg on the A110.
If we can connect it with any portable hard disks it would if great.

Good +1
you powered the drive externally with the converter...
i think power is the issue here and not the memory capacity
yes

So maybe there can be some mod which can make the device use more power to run the drives that could be very useful
for all those who failed to connect usb hdd, please check its format...NTFS file system is not supported as of now .. convert to fat 32 and try again...

be careful when you use mods that tamper with the USB power. you may burn it and render the usb useless even for charging perhaps. the OTG is to be used in a controlled manner. there are enough warnings not to be used for a long time continuously. just do a google and you will come to know.

hmm maybe you are right but I've seen some tablets and even some chinise phablets run the hard disk via otg
If someone knows how much power is required to run a specific portable hard disk (maybe different disk use different amt of power) and can mod the usb output power we can beta test that mod and see if that cause any damage to either of the devices

ntfs system is not the problem..
I use my 16gb sandisk pen drive with ntfs file system
it can be mounted using the paragon ntfs & hfs+ software..
the main issue is the power that is supplied the the device via usb otg if that can be controlled safely to run the drive it will allow a110 users to use their portable disks

How you are going to charge the device when all the time there is an OTG device attached ?

Y USB cable?
??? give me a hint. To charge it, You will need to unmount the ext drive (disconnect usb device) and plug in the usb charging cable.

Nice ! Where do you think to put all this including the mass storage in the case ? I'm very interested in your mod. Post some pics when you are ready plz.
Hi, when I plug in my usb memory nothing happens, I installed USB OTG Helper and I get code 5, I already tried another memory card and it doesn't work either, however, I tried a mouse and it works perfectly, what can I do?
Maybe only FAT32 file system is accepted.
The usb disk is formatted in NTFS or FAT32?

I just checked and it is FAT32, I have never used OTG so I don't know what to do...
EDIT: I just checked OTG Troubleshooter and it even says the model of my usb memory stic so I'm guessing the issue is I can't/don't know exactly how to acces the data on it

It might be worth the $4 for Nexus Media Importer available on the Play Store. I tested it on the Moto G and it's working flawlessly. Keep in mind there's always the off chance your OTG cable is incompatible.
I have the same problem after updating to kit kat (only works wireless keyboard), in 4.3 all worked perfectly. All usb has mounted with FAT32 system.
Sorry for my english.

Are you sure that you used a third party tool to mount the USB? KitKat doesnt support OTG anymore/at the moment.

Yeah that seemed to be the issue I installed stickmount and that seemed to do the trick however the app that I used previously gave code 5 and didn't work,thanks!
Hi,
I am extremely sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.
I got my Mi4i on the first flash. As soon as I got the phone, I did the MIUI 6.5.3.0 (LXIMICD) update. I did not check the USB OTG before the update, so not sure if it worked before the update or not. When I tried USB OTG, the Mount USB storage option is greyed out - always. I tried 2 different USBs and 2 different cables - still no luck. I am starting to suspect if its something wrong with this ROM release, as lots of areas in the setting is greyed out for me (for example, in the Headphones and Audio effects settings, the equalizer settings are always greyed out). So, have any of you tried USB OTG on MIUI 6.5.3.0? Any insights?
Yes I can assure u that USB OTG is working fine on MIUI 6.5.3.0
Check if the USB is a fat32 or ntfs?
Ntfs file system doesn't work with mi4i
Format the pen drive in fat32 and try again
I also tired a sd card reader it works brilliantly
Audio settings will be greyed out until u plugin headphones. Try any earphones or headphones then check if it still is greyed out

Thank you for the reply but I am still facing the issue...
Yes, the file system is Fat32 and the mi4i is still not recognizing the USB. Since the USB OTG is working fine for you, I suspect my OTG cable might be damaged ( weird- I tried 2 different cables).. Maybe I should try a different OTG pen drive?
PS: You were right about the audio settings, those worked when I plugged in the headphone..
same problem here.keyboard and mouse working but no usb drive with same otg cable. Otg card reader also not working.

If you're USB or SD Card is of huge capacity it may take time to load so I would suggest you to wait for a while, Android checks if the storage has an errors. It doesnt show in MIUI though. But wait for a while after plugging in.

Iam trying to use a 16 gb pendrive in fat32. And its not showing up for me as well. Help?
Sent from my Mi 4i using XDA Free mobile app
I have sandisk otg 64gb and it works without an issue. Make sure it is formatted with FAT. Other FS like exFAT and NTFS wont work, not sure about Fat32 though.
Hope this helps.
I bought a new 16gb Sandisk 3.0 OTG usb and its working fine for me now.
What's working:
* FAT formatted USB flash drives
* USB Mouse
* USB Keyboard
What's not working:
* NTFS formatted USB flash drives
* Portable USB hard drive
* USB Gamepad
I have an OTG cable lying around. Will soon test Linux file systems (ext2, ext3, etc.). Give me more suggestions, and i'll test it on the Mi 4i.

Aren't there root apps which enable ntfs support by installing a ntfs-3g driver?
The functionality is kernel-baked and not all kernels support the ntfs-3g driver. Also Xiaomi seems reluctant to release its sources anytime soon. There are alternatives like Stickmount however.

OTG
i am not able to tranzfer files frm internal storage to usb flash drive via OTG on mi4i.. In Miui file explorer mount usb doesnt open up, if i use es file explorer i am able to view files, mount & Unmount, but cannot copy from internai to USB, BUT the reverse is posssible, I.e, i can copy frm usb flash to internal storage. pls hlp friends
Is the USB FAT32 formated? Because it supports only FAT32 formated flash drives.
Mi4i can not copy from internal to usb otg storage
Actually I got the same problem.
I can not copy some files from internal storage to my usb otg storage. It said "failed EACCESS".
Could someone help me out?
