None of my Intel 320 160gb SSD's or my WD black 7200 HDDs work but I'm not concerned about it. Most of my stuff is in box.net cloud to pull at a moments notice.
My on the go thumb drives are more an important- its the small business pdfs and excels that I need have (and guarantees that I have it). As long as those work, I'm fine with what I got.

bummer, it doesnt support my gopro hero hd camera but supports my canon powershot point and shoot camera.

So the genuine motorola camera connection usb cable ARE host otg cables?

Yes, guanteed. There are others available but it can be iffy to get true OTG.

Samsung original OTG Cable works like a charm.
The samsung original cable works great with the xoom. Was able to connect my pen drive, mouse, keyboard, hd. The 500gb WD disk had to be mounted using NTFS mount but it works

How does this work with the digital camera? I have a Nikon D90 and am intrigued whether to get it.

If your Xoom is running a STOCK rom, then your camera must support PTP Data Transfer Protocol to see the camera and be able to browse/transfer pix. Example: Connecting my Nikon D40 DSLR, which only supports USB Mass Storage mode, the XOOM doesn't see it. Connecting my Nikon S8200, I must set it for PTP mode rather than the default MTP mode for the Xoom to see it.
Its my understanding that if want to connect/access data on devices that support USB Mass Storage mode via your Xoom (hard drive, Memory stick, etc), you need to be running a 3rd party rom. With one exception to this being Recovery and flashing a ROM update. (I'm sure someone will correct me if my understanding is wrong on this).

[Q] Supported USB - OTG External Hard Drive Between 500GB - 4TB

I want to buy a external hard drive to use with my SXS with the USB OTG cable that I purchased, I know there is a power drain error if you just connect it directly to your phone, I need one that is USB powered as I have TONS of 720P & 1080P movies and music on my desktop computer that I want to watch/listen to on my phone that are between 4GB - 12GB/5MB - 12MB.
So I wanted to know what External Hard Drives between 500GB - 4TB that you are us [ing] or [ed] or can recommend that do not require AC/DC Chargers that you connect to the wall, I have a USB Y Splitter Cable and a portable USB charger so I can power it when I'm on the go.
Thanks in Advance, look forward to you recommendations

I'm interested in this as well, unfortunately I can only advise what doesn't work.
I have a 1TB WD MyPassport which I use with a powered USB hub, the XS sees it but won't mount - If I erase the drive the XS will see it and tries to format but then locks up before completing.
Frustratingly it works fine in my Asus TF300T.
I also have a 120GB SSD which I haven't quite worked out what to do with so I bought a cheap USB caddy, the XS works fine with this but the TF300T can't mount it argh!!

I'm sorry if this sounds like a completely nooby and stupid question, but would connecting an external hard drive actually work? Even if you sorted out the power issues, would the phone actually recognise it, and be able to use anything on it? It's not like a mini-SD card, and I've never heard of this being done before.....

Could not work out how to get it to "just work" but after installing [root] NTFS Mounter I managed to get a flash drive working, my 750GB WD Passport USB3 however not, I can see the powering it but my guess is not enough, the lights flashing but unlike the flash drive its not mounting.
As for Kernels. I am using the Note 4.0.3 with stock samsung kernel so my guess is it can work on any phone however power may be a problem.

I only got my cable yesterday, before ordering it I did some reading and also heard that a special kernel will be needed for the NTFS support, but after getting the cable I figured worth a search on the play store before going that route as the last few times I tried custom kernels it was dismal experience and with the emmc bug I would rather not be going for a factory reset as ICS is not yet official in my country.
Getting my older 320GB USB2 drive back in about an hour so will test and see if that yields any better results.

Forgot to come back, tested with my 320GB, even used the pc and a powered usb hub for extra power on the y cable with no luck, even combined the power is insufficient.
Don't see any way of getting an 2.5" drive working on the OTG cable.

Dont have one to try with, but I could hear on the spin of the 2.5" that power was at least a problem, may not be the only one, but my ability to test has ended. However I see no reason y it would read an ntfs flash drive and not a hard drive, well with the exception of the 3TB maybe, being so new and all.

I do have a powered HDD (only a 180gb) but I'm wary of rooting my phone this early into the contract for little reason.... If I pluck up the courage to do so I'll test it out, but I'm assuming the link previously posted is the only way of connecting the two? If there's one that doesn't require root I'll test if for you within the hour, but otherwise I'm not going to rush it

dude which phone du u have??
OTG is an inbuilt function on phones which are supported.
root is only required to increase power output which is not needed in external powered HDD
P.s. I have a 1TB seagate but my phone is sola(no otg support) but it may be ported in the near future so am here to check

The app that does the auto mount and enables ntfs support (if needed) requires root.
Personally have no idea how to manually mount.

Recently got a powered usb hub for my Raspberry Pi, thought I would give that a test.
Connected the 2.5" HDD to the powered hub and then connected the hub directly into the phone. Hard drive works perfectly, even copied some files over to it with no problems.
Power is ultimately the downfall here with the OTG, cannot get enough via the cable, wonder what the battery tax would be if you could get enough power over it.

Quite probably wont work, the power end of an OTG cable combined with the phone was still not enough, the power end is meant as booster, it provides at most half of what is needed, the phone at least mine, was not capable of supplying the other half.
You would in most cases need the usb hub to completely power the drive in order to use it on the phone.

OK with 1TB, but ...
I have got a 1TB transcend 2.5" external HDD. the cable has two usb connector, one for data and one for power. whenever I connect the HDD to my galaxy note, it doesn't show anything, just the LED on the drive turns on. but when I connect the power connector to my laptop, it works and device shows my HDD without any problem. so I think the problem here is the power.

USB OTG
Hey guy's
I was just looking for a solution but could not find one.
Now i tried the "Pargon NTFS&HSF" and it works without any problem.
Find "Pargon NTFS&HSF" in Playstore.
Just install and open app then connect the HDD ( i have a LaCie 500GB 2,5) and voila.
Note: if you disconnect the hdd please unmount first or will damage your're hdd resulting in reformatting.
Tested on :
Phone : Sony Xperia, Samsung S2 & S3, Nexus's and gooapples V5's.
Tablet: Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Nexus(+google), Asus, Poloroid and Ramos W30.
(Sorry if this is a repost or in a invalid forum. This is my first post)

USB OTG works!

I 've just tested and can confirm that USB OTG mode is working on this phone. I was able to connect my USB stick to my GN2 and play a movie off it. I wonder if it has enough power to power the portable HDD like WD passport. Will test soon along with USB keyboard and mouse. I've ordered Logitech K700 and will test it once it's delivered.

I tried connecting another phone to it and nothing. Didn't work. What pops up when you connect the usb drive?

I got a cheap cable off monoprice and it worked on my thumbdrive but not on my WD passport. I have heard some say it does though. My WD is kinda old so maybe it draws more than the newer ones? In any event I really wanted it for the thumb drives only anyways.

Unless the other phone was in USB mass storage mode (which is not supported on most devices after Android 4.x), it won't work. I've successfully mounted my Epic 4G and EVO 3D on my Nexus 7 using a USB OTG cable and putting both phones in USB Mass Storage (UMS) mode. The Note 2, S3, and most other 4.x devices use Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which is not as compatible as UMS is.

I connected my WD 1.5 Terabyte drive to it and it worked perfectly!! (the drive is powered though)
Also worked with keyboard, mouse, and PS3 controller!
So cool.!

I have a WD Passport 500gb and it does not read it. I read somewhere that they had to be formatted in Fat32 and not NTFS to be read by the Note 2. I have not confirmed if it is true or not.

Actually that may be true because mine IS formatted in Fat32 because I use it to play stored Homebrew games on my Nintendo Wii.

Works just fine. Had two USB flash drives, a mouse, and keyboard hooked up and everything worked as it should. Even the media buttons (Play/Pause, volume, etc) on the mouse and keyboard worked.

There is much, much more you can connect to the Note 2. Check out this demo (use the TOC links in the description - the video is very long):

Many OTG peripherals require the use of a powered USB hub as the Kindle needs power assistance in the USB department. The app "Stick Mount" has rendered success with accessing some flash drives. Unfortunately not ALL flash drives are compatible.

i tried that app and nothing happens. it has a diagnostic tool also and it recognizes the flash drive.. but with no success.
if i need external power for a hub, then this entire thing is pointless.

If that app picks it up than a powered USB hub will probably make it work. For example....I tried using an optical USB mouse that was plugged straight into the OTG cable plugged straight into the Kindle. The mouse actually lite up BUT nothing happened besides that. When I obtained a powered hub it worked great using the same OTG cable with hub. What ROM are you using just out of curiousity?

I am using the 4.2.1_r1 AOSP ROM.
the thing is that I don't want to be dependant on elecricity. there isn't a plug every where. thank you for the time spent on my question
maybe should a nexus 7 and forget about it.

The sandisk cruzer sdcz36-004g

Only 4gb but I'd prefer to carry around a few on a ring than a powered hub, or that arrangement with the Y cable and the phone charger.
Plug it directly into the otg cable and off you go, I've played 720p video from the flashdrive with several ROMs recently, paranoid android worked great, TWA_priv's 4.2 also works but with some mounting wackiness sometimes.
USB mass storage watcher seems better than stickmount right now IMO.

Would the 8gb cruzer switch work? I am planning on buying an OTG Cable and need to specify.

Sure it will work, but you'll need a wired hub of some sort to mount it, either connected to an outlet or using a Y cable and a battery powered phone charger, which is hassle to carry, finicky to mount and not really OTG. I've never found a drive over 4 gb which was usable just by sticking it into the end of the otg cable, and most drives 4 gb or under don't work either.
The cruzer 4gb is my one and only recommendation I'm afraid.

I know this thread is a little old but just wanted to list the mini attache 16gig flash works with no powered hub.
Downside is that it only works till about 70% of battery. After that its not enough voltage

Plug it into the kindle, then plug in the flash drive.

you can connect Note 2 and drive, no application needed

The Note II can't output enough power for larger hard drives, so if yours has an external power supply then use it or if it's only powered through USB try using a powered USB Hub. Capacity itself shouldn't be a problem.

I beg to differ your opinion sir,
I have a Note 2 GT-N7100 i purchased the cable mentioned here, got it very cheap at only 2 $ from a local store.
Anyway I tried and connected everything i could imagine that has a usb plug into my Note 2 and they all worked
The devices I tried are : A mouse, A keyboard, A USB flash-memory and last but not least, my 500 GB external HD and they all worked like a charm!!
The Note 2 is an amazing device!!
attached are the proof of some of the devices mentioned above
