How do I know before buying a external ssd if it will work without external power ? Same goes for the phone.
My question is do you need to format your SSD?in order to be recognized by your Android?Or no need?
I would say not.
you shouldn't. but in my case I do. I need a laptop and I'm using Windows. I'm going to see if it will work. I've only formatted for Windows before so wish me luck
Thanks, you explained it quickly and simply.
thank you...simple to understand...I appreciate you greatly🤗

i try to connect extreme sandisk to realme pad but i can recognise only with paragon software
fine, what drives ARE compatible then?
Does the phone USB socket have enough power to power an external drive of 1 TB / 2TB? My external drive tries to power up, stuttere, tries again.
That's the main issue why external HDD doesn't connect to phone. A hack is required to overcome it by using a external HDD cable which has two usb outs. One should be inserted in phone and other in power source like power bank or charger
I have that exact same Easystore external drive, and my s21 refuses to recognize it in files. I've already went into developers and selected USB debugging and transfer for USB and it still won't work.
I got the external drive connected to the android, but I do not see where it is on my phone. I downloaded the exFAT/NTF so I could copy files from my android to the ext drive. I got to the point to paste, and I could not figure out how to paste. Maybe that's because the ext drive is not registered on my phone? Do you have suggestions for me please?
Can we download the format
exFile
Can we download the exFat format?
can i use it on samsung galaxy M31?
Both of the Drives I hook and it don't Show Anything in my Files. . ..
Can i use my ps4 external drive
my question would be, after I had password protected the SSD, would I be able to open the drive on phone?
Is there an option to back up the entire phone to a hard drive disk?
yes. Cloning.. but in most cases its very fical. Good luck.
So I've connected my drive, and my phone recognizes it! But I no longer have the "move to external drive" button there? Did a factory reset and all that... Tech support basically said GFY
I can't see my SSD in Files of iPhone 13 or 14 Pro
If i got the hhd instead of the ssd can I still use it with android. Its giving me a hard time. Say NTFS Format not compatable
Mine says can not transfer because it NTFS 😢. So what format does the hard drive need to be in ?
@@shyla5138
I believe I read someone said it should be exFat format.
So what external drive works with s23 ultra?
A lot.
I'm running a 1TB Sandisk SSD on my S21
I just uploaded the video on my channel showing how to connect
Just make sure your SSD is exFAT formatted
What format is needed for SSD to be visible on Android device?
My SSD drive (NTFS) is visible as USB Storage but when I try to see it's content I get "Could not connect to USB Storage"
FYI: just gave exFAT a try and it's working correctly on Android🙂
exfat is the way to go
I just uploaded a video on my channel for SSDs
Hiya can I connect a external hard drive to my android phone to record live footage from my security cameras? kind regards Steve.
I just got a hdd and when i connect it to my phone it tells me that i need to connect an external power source
What if doesn't show up with usb hub?
Can you transfer files from your phone to the drive?
Yes
Nope, think it may be connected to my provider. I have Google Fi. The only thing I can do is see a USB item with everything grayed out. Can't open, can't change, can't do anything.
Thanks a lot
Will this affect the battery life of the cell phone?
No it won't, unless you keep it connected for more than 15 minutes. Bcoz file transfer will take only 5-10 minutes, for 10-15 gb data. I am using my hard disk with my phone for data transfer since 2020. And its battery is still very good.
I have been connecting 2TB NVMEs to my S20 for years, no problem. Just tried 4TB NVMEs and no dice. Initially used a USB C enclosure with and without OTG, no dice and then tried a USB A enclosure with an OTG, no dice. Noticed in your video you managed to get a 4TB spinning drive connected. So power is not the issue. Obviously there isn't a drive size limit of 2TB like I feared, perhaps it is how much data it can access. My drives are full well above 2TB. Maybe that's it. Gonna dump a drive a load just a few files. If that works, may try 2 partitions.
I tried a 2tb nvme connecting first time connected moved 15gb of videos unmounted ,mounted again and it is not showing any more
@@greattech8278 That sounds like a fake drive. If you bought it for an unbelievably good price, that's probably it. Stung by a few of those years ago.
Update if anyone experiences a similar issue. In the end I have to hook the drive up to my S20 using a hub with external power and all works peachy. I still think I am missing something as I can hook up a 5tb spinning drive to my S20 no issues, but a 4TB NVME requires power? Doesn't make sense. I think my NVME may be a cheap Chinese version therefore more power is required.
@@johncasey5594 No because it works normally on my laptop and an xiaomi phone,
It doesn't work on my Samsung phone nor my Samsung tab
Thanks ❤😅😊
This did not work with my specific drive on my specific phone.
It wont show up for me
musta done something wrong because my phone somehow got the idea that i wanted to use the SSD _instead_ of the SD card, so it wiped the SD lol
My phone just formatted the entire harddrive LMAOOOOO
i don't recommend this at all
@@highoctanesynx7950 got it to work perfectly fine. it was just some fuckery with VLC file explorer that did it, i didn't like the standard file exporer as it was Google-integrated.
all you need to do for your phone to regognise and be able to read/write the files on it is paste all of the standard Android system folders on it, or just write them yourself.
plug the SSD into your PC and create folders with the following names:
".android_secure"
"Alarms"
"Android"
"Audiobooks"
"DCIM"
"Documents"
"Download"
"Movies"
"Music"
"Notifications"
"Pictures"
"Podcasts"
"Ringtones"
if you do that, your phone should be able to read/wite the drive, just plug it in with a good quality USB C cable, wait for the phone to "check" it, and it should pop up in the notification bar within a minute, if it doesn't unplug it and try again, if it still doesn't, shit's fucked mate.
note: my phone uses Android 11
@@RYNOCIRATOR_V5 It's more of a smartphone specific task . If your phone supports NTFS format through otg, it will definitely connect within seconds. No need to go through this headache of naming the folders.
It also happened with me
@@jokervsbatman5746 If any phone doesn't support NTFS format of hard drive, it asks to format the drive to Fat32 or ExFAT format on connecting, and u might have clicked on that. And boom all ur data on drive gone.
It used to be so easy to transfer files to a cpu from phone and to an external hard drive. They make everything so fkn difficult now for no reason.
It's so you buy cloud storage
Never works in the real world, ONLY in RUclips world, smh
So true and it's annoying af
@@lifeisbeautiful7361
Connected my Motorola G50 to a Seegate one touch. Came up not possible to use the connected storage device with Seagate SSD Touch.
I saw another video before that!
That guy was using some apps before connecting the device. So, maybe it'll in that way....
Mine is still not showing
I connect my wd passport but it doesn't show up
can you play game from your ssd directly?
What kind of accent is yours? I never heard something like this before.
Like to know how to transfer, if all possible, android phone text messages to external hard drive without compromising the outlook format
The phone for some reason formatted the external harddrive (to exFAT oh lord 🤣) for me
Is that normal?
exFAT is better overall and will work on both phones and PCs. Hopefully that formatting didn't cause you any data loss
@@stevenblakesley i lost nothing thankfully, it was a harddrive i just bought, wanted to transfer some stuff from my mobile
I thought this is not normal at first, yeah, exFAT grew into me since then, it also works perfectly with a ps4 😅
does it format itself or we have to do smth?
@@sgoigsgogsgous4504 I do believe the Samsung SSDs are exFat by default so no, you don't need to reformat when plugged into the phone
Hey dude, thanks, butyoutalksofastitshardtoheareverythingyousaycanyou sloooowdown?
Doesn't work😢
Does not work.
That’s not how you remove the drive.
Useless video.
This video is useless.
Ahh, very "specific"
True 😂
