He's referring to the keyboard dock, it has an SD card slot built into it.

The SD card reader for the TF101 works great on the Prime.
Yeap the Asus dock is a wonderful card reader, also did you know that the Prime has a built in slot for a micro SD card already? I'm not sure what they're trying to do, but if a micro would work it will be an easy solution.
The transformer prime dock would be a rather big present for someone else, but if it's that kind of someone else, it will change their life. It's a full keyboard with a touchpad mouse, has full size SD card slot and USB slot which allows you to use external drives. It doubles as a case also kind of, it makes the prime fold up like a netbook.
I shoot a Canon DSLR camera that uses an SD card. While I'm out shooting I can take the card out of the camera and view the pics fullsize on the screen and also copy the files from the SD card to my external hard drive which is connected via USB.

Anyone know if there is external DVD drives compatible with the dock?

For what fun could be had in a terminal, maybe but I am doubtful about the stock kernel at least.
Also ofc, no Android apps are expecting it.

It's linux. If you manage to mount it, it behaves like normal folder (for example the one for microSD card or pendrives in Removable folder).
Yes but optical disks are used for more than just reading data disks.
I have an external cd rom and an atp, but don't know if it will work with my docks lone portand nothing if need to test with.

Have an LG GP10 portable sitting next to me, so I plugged it in. All the lights come on as you would expect, but then goes black.....No indication on the TF101 to say it has recognized it
There was a thread on Reddit about this last week...it doesn't work.
You think the kernel could be modified to accept a dvd drive
I tried searching the forums for an answer, but haven't been able to locate one. If someone knows of another thread, could you link it please?
My question is, is there a size limit to a USB drive that the Prime dock will recognize? I have a Scandisk 16Gb drive. When I put it in the USB port the Prime flashes "Preparing external storage", but that message disappears, leaving me no access to the drive. Smaller capacity USB drives work fine, albeit from different manufacturers.
Is this a capacity issue, or something else?
I think it is something else. I plugged in a 500gb hard drive via usb and it seemed to work fine.
The USB drive that I have that didn't work was a Chromium image which I'm guessing just can't be read by the Android OS.
My 2 tb external works fine.

Thanks for the input. What is a chromium image?

2TB USB3.0 works fine here

I think the question is how is the drive formatted. Not every format is supported. I know that NTFS (windows default for large drives) is hit or miss.

SO I have had my prime for some time now and really enjoy the fact that I have a quad core beast that does alot. However, one thing that just gets on my nerves
is the SD and MSD situation.
Here is the issue, lets say I leave my prime closed for a while and then open it, select a file with root explorer and select move, then paste to the other sd card it will look like its pasting then stop. All of sudden my file is not pasted and also no where on my other card.
Second, sometimes when trying to copy to my micro sd it will say read only.
I figured it just needs to be unmounted and mounted again but this is getting stupid.
Sometimes I have to reboot for it to work right.
Makes me so mad. Now I understand why all my android phones had me remove the battery to get to the Micro SD inside.

I learnt a long time ago to never rely on a clean cut and paste between 2 storage devices. Same goes for network shares. Always copy and paste then delete source file.
Your problem could be related to your SD card. Have you tried the same process with a different SD card?
I have two 32gb micro sd and it happens with the external on the device not the dock. I switch them and same results. I also notice there are funny files showing up on the card too!
I can not delete them from the prime or pc. Very wierd. I first seen these in the music folder.

I ran into these "funny files" last night but I just decided to format all my msds to ntfs format

Yeah well it seems that with the external from prime it self has the issue. When I switch cards to the dock the card is fine again. I am going to install the normal stock rom and see if it helps.

If you get the dongle with the card reader slots you can do 1 thing: read memory cards. If you get the USB port version you can: use a memory card reader, plug in an external hard drive or flash drive, plug in a keyboard, mouse or joystick just to name a few things. If all you really will be doing is reading memory cards then the reader version is better since you won't need 2 devices (USB dongle + USB memory card reader) but if you ever plan on anything else the USB port version is way more versatile.

It depends what the external sd is and how big it is in memory size, some work and some don't.
I have a 1 tb external and it doesn't register on my phone not even if I repartition it.

sh^t im planning on getting a 1TB external HD this one in fact
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Sli...UTF8&colid=12HPR9PFUES4B&coliid=IYZBBEJ1LZLS4
i suppose i could go through the process of using OTG Cable with my Nexus 7 and then onto my phone but it's too much hard work to be honest, all i wanna do is to get music onto my phone from the external HD, this isn't good, ill have to reconsider my options unless anyone knows a better way?

Ah figured out how to use my hdd by installing an app called paragon ntfs then plugging my wired hub into my otg cable then plugging my wired extended hdd into that.
It's a very annoying process just to plug a hard drive in but it worked :thumbup:

Okay what I did was have my hub connected to the mains which is also connected to my otg cable of my note 10.1
Installed the paragon app that reads ntfc data on a hard drive (some are fat32 so don't need this app)
Then connected my external 1tb hard drive which is connected to the mains to the hub and all my files showed up on my note 10.1
Hope that's easier to understand
Oops sorry exactly the same process with a galaxy s3, get confused between forums
