Siyah does support NTFS. How big is the HDD though? Don't think you can go over 500GB

also another question aside from my sgs3 to my dad's lg p-880
on a fresh windows 7ult x64, i installed drivers and connected phone as hotspot via usb, it worked for like 1 min and now it dont work at all, it does make connection between lappy and phone, but no internet data is shared between pphone and lappy , and its not the provider since i use the same provider and my sgs3 works normal with wifi hotspot, but the lg doesnt work at all anymore , i tried all functions like bt,wifi,usb but nothing changes , 3g works on the phone though but it just doesnt send to pc/lappy what could it be ?

There is NTFS support. The problem is 4TB is bigger than 500GB. Nothing to do with NTFS. No format goes over this size on S3. Maximum 500GB (or something similarly small). Certainly not 1TB

lol, well phone keeps syaing unsuported format so yeah no clue, i even tried apps like pparagon and ntfs mounter, could it be the card reader ? though i doubt it
Format to FAT to test reader. Could be. My card had a chipped corner so stated corrupt in my camera. If it works with fat, its NOT the reader

My current portable hard drive apparently uses too much power for the galaxy tab.
Are there any 500gig + hard drives that use the same power as a thumb drive or is this just wishful thinking?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
You will have to use an USB Hub with power supply. All spinning HDD's require much more power than the tablet is supplying.
I know it is not cheap, but you can today buy 128GB USB flash drives - they will work well and store also a lot of HD movies!
i am curious how you are connection your HD to the tab? if you are usign the usb host usb adapter, the little paper that came with it supports up to 32gb fat32 drives. i dont know if thats true or not, but if it is, you wont even be able to use a 128 usb flash drive as previously suggested.
i can confirm that a 32gb fat32 usb flash drive works, used with my sandisk cruiser 32
For portability the Seagate wireless drive would work.
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Satellite-Wireless-Storage-STBF500101-Black/dp/B004Z0S7K6
Using a powered hub will work just fine with portable hard drives. I have a 500GB Seagate that works very well
The USB 2.0 spec can only handle supplying 100mA x 5. So 500mA draw us the max it can supply to any drive. I don't know of any drives that are that low, might as well use a flash drive or SD card.

Hosts are actually not required to supply 500 mA even. They are required to supply 100, and may negotiate up to 500 during device enumeration.
PCs that don't support 500 are extremely rare, but mobile devices with OTG are a different story - many are limited to 100. This seems to include our device.
2.5" spinning hard drives that use less than 500 can be found. Less than 100 is not possible.
As to the 32GB limit - I have no idea why that's in the flyer, other than maybe the fact that it's VERY rare to see drives above this size formatted as FAT since Windows refuses to format drives of this size as FAT.
I have a 120GB WD external drive that works fine on my netbook (single USB port cable) I'll have to pick up a USB adapter and try it.
IIRC as the size (GB) of the drive goes up so does it's power draw.
Has anybody tried a 1.8" drive from an MP3 player?
Power consumption
Start 1.8W (max.)
Seek 0.9W (typ.)
Read/Write 0.8W (typ.)
Low power Idle 0.3W (typ.)
Stand-by 0.1W (typ.)
Though I suppose this Thread is kinda dead...I'd still like to know if there is a way to connect harddrives bigger than 32GB (and to format a Fat32 driver bigger than 32GB). Wish to stream media from my tablet to the PS3 and other players via Skifta...but I don't want to buy harddrives randomly, hoping they will work.
Tried with different USB Drives I have at home, but none works (well, NTFS of course).
Has anyone tried a bigger driver via powered USB Hub yet?
Or 64GB Sticks etc?

Sounds awesome! So, I suppose any powered hub works. Did you format the HD in any specific way or by the help of some fancy software (just wondering as I think Fat32 cannot be formatted under Win7 if the harddisk exceeded size x) ?
Thanks

So it's true, you actually have to format your 500GB drive as FAT32 to get it working?
I guess this means no HD movies (files bigger than 4 GB) right?

did you use a 2.5" hdd. what is the usb hub that you used ?
I have a 64 gb microsd card for media. Diceplayer plays HD files beautifully on my evo3D across HDMI. The one setback is that FAT32 limits files to a 4GB limit.
Under any of the existing ROM's - is it possible to have our memory card formatted NTFS or EXFAT and have everything work?
I know it's possible in general - because many tablets have that capability. My cheap Arm8 based tablet (Ainol Novo7 Advanced) can handle NTFS or EXFAT formats for both the memory card, or USB host.
Is it possible for the Evo3D to handle these formats, now or in the future?

Exactly. It's a little tricky - because at first the phone reports the card as damaged. Which lead me to believe it would be incompatible. But with a little persistence, the phone will format the card fat32 (it arrives exfat).
Since then, I've been happily using the card for 2 weeks with no issues. I reported more detail in the accessory forum - but the write speed wasn't quite up to class 6 for mine, I measured around 5.5 megs/sec. But others have reported very high read speeds instead.
I did a quick search and it seems NTSF or exFAT support exists in Honeycomb (Android 3.X). I'm pretty sure that is cannot be done in Gingerbread or less (Android 2.3 or less). Maybe since ICS is a merge of Honeycomb and Gingerbread, the ICS Kernel supports this. Try out a ICS rom with the card formatted NTSF and see if it works.

Actually - your information is mistaken. My Ainol Novo 7 Android tablet runs Gingerbread. Right now - it's memory card is formatted exfat, and I regularly use an NTFS drive via usb host.

I cannot find any evidence of an Android phone with ntfs support. Android 3.x kernel can do it and some Chinese tablets with gingerbread can as you have said. The Chinese tabs can due to the developers inserting some binaries into their kernel. However, I've not seen any example of this working for an Android phone. I did see that there may be a connection to USB host and ntfs support. Maybe try a kernel that has USB host active like Goodman's and see if it works.

I'd be happy to try it (probably this weekend) but I've read that not everyone has been able to get USB host to work even with the ideal ROM and Kernel. Do you have a link to the right ROM and Kernel I should try?
my kernel supports NTFS, and will see a NTFS 1TB usb drive...
..............this did require rom support as well...

Prove me I'm wrong.
I've been utterly unable to get this to work. Last night I flashed Olympus ROM - with the kernel it came with. I couldn't get USB host to work, and formatting the memory card anything but fat32 did not work.
Tonight - I flashed Chad Goodman's kernel, and it didn't work either for usb host, exfat or ntfs support.
Oh well - I'll keep trying. If anyone can tell me what the best ROM/kernel combination for trying this is - I'd really appreciate it.
Well - after a couple of days of flashing, I can't get USB host to work at all, nor alternate formats from a microSD card.
Though I guess it's possible that my coming from hboot1.5 is a factor, it seems my hardware revision might be a factor? I've seen one other person report a lack of success with a hardware rev of 0002.
Besides that - I'm a little surprised that my NTFS microsd card wasn't supported, seeing as how chad.goodman's kernel is supposed to enable that. Perhaps it only works via USB.
What would posses anyone to want NTFS on Android???
NTFS is really not the best option in FS out there, EXT security and file handling kicks NTFS 10 to 1 any day. Trust me, placing NTFS on a Linux system will make your system slower and full of issues because of the backward compatibility processing.

It's about handling files larger than 4gb, which you can do with NTFS.
NTFS wasn't meant for Flash memories. exFat was.

Exactly, our Evo 3D is capable of playing 1080P files - but most HD movie files are above 4GB.
I realize EXFAT would be superior - but that's not compatible either right now. That's disappointing because like I'd mentioned - my cheap Chinese tablet handles both formats with gingerbread.
I only tried NTFS because Chad.Goodman reported it as compatible on this thread.

It's supposed to only support OTG-certified devices. All other devices may or may not work. Especially hard drives have lots of differences in terms of power consumption so one model may work while another does not. Powered disks work fine all the time.

That's because it's NTFS. Stock ROM does _NOT_ provide support for NTFS, only for Fat32!
If you want NTFS support you need to either root and manually load the NTFS module or use a kernel with built-in NTFS support such as Siyah.

I bought this on an impulse and haven't used it recently. I think it only has one full size usb so you probably couldn't connect the hard drive and the phone at same time, although the card reader may work while wired to phone. It creates its own network or Hotspot so more than one device can see it, it can also be connected to wifi and will pass-through that signal.
It seems that if hdd doesnt work i need to search alternative storage expansion...using hdd with an adapter is a hassle cause need to carry more stuff...i need to be able to bring it to me all the time...128gb sd card is a little expensive to me now...but maybe later will switch to it...but now i will use this 64gb flash drive dual otg i found...small capacity but easy to use..it will do for now.....

Do you already have the hard drive? I was assuming you did, if not there are wireless ones with the function of that Kingston device. Seagate has this one for example, comes in three storage sizes, is rechargeable and creates its own wifi network.

So yeah it's an on off thing but I just used the HDD yesterday to watch Baywatch HDR and lemme tell ya wow. I know Samsung's got the pop. But this was just pop pop pop! MX player does play HDR files so.
I don't know what your reason is to use external but it works but a huge battery drain but a 3 hour HDR movie form 100 percent charge and brightness ends up at 23ish after the movie.
I suggest using SD card. Copy to SD card but hard drive will connect
