Hi, I picked-up my new S3 Sportback last week - having loads of fun now
But i do need some advice - I've about 750gb of music in flac format which I'd like to put it on a portable hdd since there's too much for a sd card.
I've got MMI high and have verified that flac files play fine from an SD card.
I've tried a couple of portable hdds;
Samsung M3 750gb USB2, and
WD Elements 2Tb USB3
but neither work - tries to work but then fails.
I've tried formatting in FAT32, Ntfs and ex-fat but to no avail
I suspect the drives I have tried have a power consumption which is too high.
Has anyone here managed to successfully run a high capacity hdd off just the AMI usb cable? what was the make / model
Many thanks in advance
Steve
