Hi
I just want to connect my external hard drive (usb) to my poco f1 but the android system or MIUI doesn't recognize the hard as suitable DISK and asks me to format it before i can use it on my phone.
Can anyone help?
Quite likely that the HDD is formatted as NTFS which AFAIK isn't supported by MIUI. You can format the HDD as FAT32( max. file size limited to 4GB) or flash a custom kernel which could enable NTFS support.

The USB Type C port is limited to USB 2.0 only. Plus for handling larger capacity(3/4TB or higher) drives a powerbank is needed.

Ok, thanks i got it, that's why it's very slow with me,
It's usb type c issue, right
I was thinking that the problem is with the MIUI version or the OS support to this, especially that i try the same HDD and same OTG connector on REDMI NOTE 8 PRO based on Android 10 and it was working normally without 3rd party apps or any external apps... Am I right? ?

How slow is it exactly? USB 2 is good enough for 35MB/s.
Type C can be USB 3. 1 as well like in Oneplus 7 series. And in Redmi Note 8 Pro its USB 2.0.
Poco F1 isn't very good when it comes to self-powering high capacity ext. HDDs. Anything over 2TB likely needs a powered USB hub. In my old Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3s I can easily power 4TB drives even.

Then what's wrong with my device?
can you figure it out, can u help?!
I don't know the exact speed (kb/s) is, because the app i used doesn't show the speed indicator i attached to u its pic.
And i tried another app (ex/fat ntfs paragon software with total commander app) and it was the same speed, it's very slow.
For example, video (2gb) takes more than 10 or 20 min to completely transferred from HDD TO my POCO F1
MY EXT. HDD IS 1TB ONLY?
Pls can u tell what can i do more?
THX FOR YOUR HELP

Were these issues also present on MIUI based on Android 9 or only arose after upgrading to Android 10? I have been using custom ROMs right from day one. In crDroid 5.9 based on Android 9 there was no issue but in crDroid 6.4 based on Android 10 from what I can see USB 3 devices suffer from very low transfer speeds 0.5MB/s whereas in USB 2 devices transfer speeds are as expected(8-18MB/s). I checked in my PC as well and USB 3 devices are in the range 30-140MB/s.
Could you check with a USB 2 drive?

No, but I didn't update my device. am still on Android 9 MIUI V 11.0.5
and their is no issues with my device when i transfer data from pc with the original USB CABLE, the speed is very good ranging between (7-20MB/s)..
The problem only when i use HDD as OTG USB.
hint"i told u that i try the same HDD with same OTG connector on my friend device (redmi note pro, global stable ROM based on Android 10) and it was working normally with good transfer speed".
that's it.
I don't know. On crDroid Pie I had no issue. Maybe try a custom kernel or just bulk transfer stuff from the HDD via PC over MTP.

Is your issue solved?I updated to crDroid 6.7 today and transfer speeds over USB OTG are as expected. For USB 3.0 ext. HDDs. But in one USB3 pen drive speeds are still abysmally low. Just an exception as I tested multiple HDDs and it was fine. Copying to HDDs fluctuated between 15-25MB/s(avg. ~20MB/s) but copying to internal storage from HDDs was better at ~32MB/s.

OTG does not work
I have just bought a xperia u (st25i)
I have tested different OTG cables but non of them works.
in the storage menu USB storage options are not active.
the phone is manufactured in April 2012. the OS is android 2.3.7
I do not want to loose the warranty so I have not tried to root it.
should it be necessarily be rooted? or I should just try to find the proper OTG cable?

Your cable is probably wrong. If you have another device and the same cable works there, apply for RMA.
I got cable today too, and at first I thought it didn't work. After reboot I connected 16GB MS with power consumption error, so I tried a 4GB MS and it worked. Looks like I need a new memory stick or a separate powered hub between OTG cable and ms

It Works

I found a working kable. it is originaly provided for samsung but works on my Xperia U.
I was able to attach a usb hub and connect mouse and cool disk and all works fine.
Same problem
I too had this same problem. When i insert NTFS pendrive it prompt for format pendrive.
I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. I have a USB OTG for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it's able to recognize my 1gb and 4gb drives. However, when I try my higher capacity 16gb and 32gb drives it says "high powered device connected" and doesn't open them like it would on my lower capacity drives. I read somewhere that Android is only able to recognize 4gb usb drives with a FAT file system. Not sure how true it is but my tab has 4.0.4 ICS stock rom on it. Also, it doesn't recognize my wired mouse and says it's also a high powered device.
Anyway my focus is on the flash drive. How do I make it recognize higher capacity drives? And can anyone recommend brands that work? Thank you.

Try this hack. Instead of inserting the OTG first then the USB, try it the other way round. The USB into the OTG then the OTG to tab. Or just install a new ROM.
Hi all,

well but the built in file manager still doesn't support it, I wanted to be sure.
for me works a 500gb drive without external and a 2tb with external power. could be a power issue if its without external
Doesn't the device have to support OTG? I never saw the note 3 to be advertised to support that.
2tb its a heavy load and redmi note 3 did not support admin please close this thread

Mine work with custom rom
Thread is old but: - Stickmount plus maybe Radon Kernel will allow access to NTFS Drives.
As long as the phone can power the drive or the drive has it's own power.
Not sure if Radon is needed but that is my setup!

Yesterday I tried to connect a USB 3.0 drive (both a pen drive and an external 1 TB HDD) to my poco via otg. It took some time to detect (hard drive took much longer than pen drive, USB 2.0 drives were detected instantly). When I tried to copy data from my pen drive or my hard drive to my phone the transfer speed was stuck around only 1MB/s. Both are formatted with NTFS format and I have used them with my previous Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5 Pro, they used to work fine in both of those phones. I tried to copy data in MIUI using Paragon and even a custom rom like Havoc, Nitrogen etc. I don't know why transfer speed is so slow on POCO? Could it be due to type-c port? I even tried using different file explorers but same result. Any solution?
Please Recommend working USB OTG adapter for Poco F1 8-256 variant.
I have searched on the internet and found that MIUI-11 does support otg.
So it is only the matter of purchasing the right otg adapter.
I want to connect mostly pendrives only (FAT32 & exFAT) to backup data from my Poco F1.
So if any of you purchased an adapter that works please share that link here so that me and other users can benifit from it. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in Advance :highfive:
Cheers :good:

I've been using OTG on my poco since day one. Just bought a Type-C OTG and didn't had to configure anything.
For NTFS you'll need paragon NTFS drivers app.
You'll get USB 2.0 speeds on flash drives but external drives work slow (mine was 2 tb WD)

Thanks I bought the MIVI OTG adapter from flipkart and it works flawlessly.
So an off-topic question...
I'm trying to add the pen drive connected to my router via
Mi File Manager>Remote>Add Remote Device>[SMB]LAN on my brand new Poco F1 8/256
But my pendrive is not getting detected while scanning. I tried different pendrives, but none of them are getting detected.
I tried using MiXplorer, didnt get detected in this as well.
Do I need to enable some settings or permissions??
Can you please help me with this??

I don't use the built in mi file explorer for SMB. I use xplore. Search it on play store and it always works for me.
