USB Cable - Eee Pad Transformer Accessories

Hi
What do you think about charges/cables for Eee Pad - off eBay?
Say i am thinking about to get this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2M-USB-Charg...329?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256e4131e9
Are they safe/good to use on Eee Pads?
Tnx

You want it too be longer or need a new one... if you want it to be longer you just use a male + female 3.0 usb adapter... a 2.0 usb cant transfer enought power quick enough

External Hard Drive

I need to get an external hard drive for my Transformer, and I wanted to know if anybody had any good suggestions as to which I should get?
Also, what format does the drive need to be formatted in?
Thanks.

I'm using a 1TB WD My Passport USB 3.0 drive formatted in NTFS. The TF recognized it and accepts it just fine.
yep ... im using a WD too ... but mines only the 500gb USB 2.0 one ... but it was VERY cheap at PC World
Does it need to be usb 3.0 for power? I know the power cord for the Transformer has to be.

are you guys powering the hard-drive from the transformer or do the drives have their own external power supply?
Mine powers just fine from the Transformer.

I have three Toshiba 1TB (NTFS) USB drives that work/browse beautifully. (Two at a time, of course!)

mine is simply a USB connection to the transformer. The 500gb model was about £30 from PC World
Just buy a 250GB Toshiba 1.8" HDD.
It very small and enough space to storage.

I'm a bit confused - are you using the Asus Transformer's keyboard dock's USB port? The TF doesn't come with a USB port onboard right? Unless you have some kind of USB dongle that plugs into the proprietary port?

Using a seagate expansion 500gb
My Toshiba 1TB works perfectly out of the box with this tablet. Strongly recommended.

works great with the dock
I use a 500gb mypassport.
It is powered over USB. It works great when plugged into the dock.
I also have an AC powered WD 1tB hdd that works fine too.
Both are NTFS.
Isn't it awesome to be able to play movie content from your NTFS, USB powered drive on your TF? I love laughing at my wife using her iPad.
Any external hard drive basically works...
I use a Seagate 500gb in one of those external cases from DX and it works perfectly well.

I couldnt find a 30 pin cable anywhere. But i think that someothing like this is what th op was referring too. This would work just fine,

Help connecting my hdmi

Hi, can anyone tell me is there is something i have to do in order to connect my prime to my tv?.
I used to be able to do it with my xoom but for some reason i can't see anything with my prime.
Thanks in advance.
Nope. Just plug in your micro hdmi into the prime and the other end intothe tv. That all i needed to. It should be the same for you

that's weird, i can't see anything. another issue with this thing man.
What doyou mean you "cant see anything" are you sure the tv is set to hdmi. What does the prime say/do?

Hdmi is one feature that does work (just plug and play). If yours does not you may have a dud cable, dud hdmi port on he tv or the prime. My first bet is on user error (make sure you're on correct input, etc) and the second is on a dud cable.
i'm sorry, i just found out the cable is the problem, thanks for the replies guys.

An I use the USB port in the back for a USB drive?

Yes.
Sent from my ARCHOS 101G9 using Tapatalk 2
Just a word of warning if you do use it. The port does move in and out about a centimeter , designed to let the 3G dongle get a better signal. It appears the ribbon cable that attaches the USB port to the board is not designed very well from all that moving and eventually will crack the wires making the port useless.

OTG anyone?

Is there an otg option for the tf300t? I don't have a dock and hadn't planned on getting one but the capabilities of otg seem interesting but I guess you'd need the Asus connector instead of microUSB.

Yeah you can get the following:

This literally arrived at my door 10 minutes ago, it rules! I plugged a generic external hard drive (some cheap external case I put a 500 gig 2.5 notebook drive into) and I could play movies/music/pictures off it no problem at all, no power source required for the hard drive either. I'll test it out over the next couple of days and see how much battery it eates.
I'm curious what else you can plug up there... USB game controllers maybe?

yes usb controllers work perfect with that and was one of the reasons for its release, and things like usb keyboards and mice
