How to access external USB hardrive

[Guest Stevonator]

Hi me again :mellow:

Ive had a look around the forum and i've learnt how to switch to USB host mode, however when i plug in my external harddrive i dont know where to find it on the vega.

I've looked in ifilemanager and there is a link there called usbdrive or something like that however when i click it it's empty.

Any ideas :D

Cheers guys :o

If it's a large hard disk, it may take a while to mount (from my experience, not tried since the first port of host mode so it may be faster now)

No probs. Not all external HDDs work unfortunately check out the the "USB Host mode - Working Devices (a list)" titled topic for those which do. I presume it has its own power supply otherwise it def won't work.
