Hello Everyone,
I got external hardrive, which is formatted to NTFS file system.
When I connect it to my prime USB port, it dosnt recoganise it.
Is there way to make NTFS hard drive with Prime?
Thanks!
Nevermind, fixed it... just need a reboot to prime to make it work...
How can I connect External harddisk on Sony Tablet S. Using an OTG cable, I can connect Pendrive. But it doesn't detect harddisk

An ext HDD has to have it's own power supply.The tab ain't powerful enough to run a simple plug and play ext HDD.

I frequently use without problem two different Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB-powered hard drives (p/n WDBACY5000ABK-00) with a Sony Tablet S. I use a Sony SGPUC1 USB cable to connect the hard drives to the tablet. The hard drives are formatted FAT32, which is required for the tablet to be able to access the hard drives; that is, without modifying its kernel.
I suspect your problem is your hard drive is not formatted as FAT32. If that is the case, you will need to format your hard drive as FAT32. Microsoft Windows (any version) cannot format large capacity hard drives as FAT32, so you will need to use a third-party formatting tool.
If your tablet has root access, another option is installing a NTFS kernel module. For information on downloading and installing the NTFS kernel module, read THIS thread. This supposedly will allow the tablet to access hard drives formatted as NTFS.

Or any other way to get a USB-OTG connected
NTFS self-powered hard drive recognised?
The rom see's the host mode adapter and
reports unrecognised or unformatted
device. FAT32 devices work as expected.
I tried a few of the play store apps
that say they support NTFS mounting
but nothing happens.
Ideally, I'd like use NTFS or EXT4
for the 128GB microSDXC card too.
Thanks

How to mount an USB stick formatted ext2/3/4?
When I connect a FAT formatted stick, it works, NTFS too using the Paragon_NTFS TC plugin.
I thought ext2/3/4 is supported, when the system and internal storage is on an ext4 partition.
Has the tablet to be rooted?
Tried also an ext3 formatted SDCard in the tablet, the result is the same - it says the card is empty or an unsupported filesystem..
The format it is told to read the sd card is different from the format it's told to read the system as. I'd say you'd have to be rooted if making any changes to what's readable versus what's not. The only thing is I'm not too sure on how exactly you'd do that other than using a cwm recovery and adding an extension partition on your card.
I'm afraid I need to do something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/general/guide-ext4-microsd-card-dell-venue-8-t3042906
The main problem is, I can't root my Venue because I've encrypted the filesystem.
I'm afraid I have to reformat my USB sticks to FAT32/NTFS ...
Decrypt then? Root and recrypt?
Edit: did you buy a large as card?
My 32 is in but have only had issues with higher cards like 64 and 128. There's an application I once used to format the card on board but when I plugged it into PC whether Linux or win, they'd get corrupted. So now the 128 lives in my laptop and the 64 in phone. 32 for the tablet for me is plenty. Onboard formatted to exFat I believe. Backup your goods. [emoji12]
Edit 2: I'm sure there's an app for that. No? Sorry, I was talking micro SD like a MF, lol! Stuff like that is not cool but I throw everything on my biggest USB 128 and it's formatted to NTFS but my others are just fat and don't read either.
According the instructions when encrypting, there is no decrypting, only factory reset.
I have a 64GB card, formatted to FAT32, no issues so far.
The idea was to use an EXT3 formatted USB thumb drive for big files (movies), so far I'm bypassing the problem with a NTFS formatted USB thumb drive and the Paragon_NTFS TC plugin but I have to copy the big file to the internal storage because the plugin doesn't make the NTFS drive visible for other apps than TC (Total Commander).
Edit: There are apps for mounting USB EXT2/3/4 (USB OTG Helper, USB Mount All, StickMount) but they all require root.
Then follow the crowd and. ..
Root it, root it, root it.... lol
Those were the apps I've used before and I root every device I own before I even get comfy with it.
