Hello I'm looking at using a portable hard drive (500GB-1TB) using my TV's USB and was hoping you can tell me which ones work well. Using a LG UJ635 4K TV want it for film storage maybe recording.

You will find the transfer rate is too slow to make a good movie watching experience, in my opinion.But simply connect the drive to your computer like you normally do and connect your TV to your computer as normal, then begin playing the movie.You posted this in the Dell Dimension 3000 catagory. If you are really trying to connect an external hard drive directly to your TV and play movies with no computer involved, it can't be done.You will find the transfer rate is too slow to make a good movie watching experience, in my opinion.But simply connect the drive to your computer like you normally do and connect your TV to your computer as normal, then begin playing the movie.You posted this in the Dell Dimension 3000 catagory.

The LG's will support an external USB hard drive, but it seems the USB support was intended for thumb drives, so yuo need to do the following to get it working:. the drive must be formatted FAT32 (like thumbdrives). keep the file names short. keep the directory structure simple and as flat as possibleI have a 60GB laptop drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure drive working really nicely with good transfer rates. It takes it's power from the USB socket and is working fine.Hope this helps.Posted on Jan 12, 2010.
My current Samsung TV plays my WD Passport Hard Drive with no issues at all. It's formatted at ntfs.I recently went looking at a new TV and was tempted by an LG C7 OLED as I've been told they're a lot better than the qled.The first store I went in my Hard Drive worked, the salesman then showed me the same model but a bigger TV. He could not get the hard drive to show up no matter which usb input he tried.I then went to another store and had the same problem, however it then just randomly appeared after a while, no one knew why. He kept removing it and putting it back in.I then went to another store as I was not sure about It, surprise surprise it didn't work.Does anyone know why or have had similar issues with an LG?

I may stick with a Samsung if it's a bit hit and miss each time i use it.I could test a fat32 usb pen but I won't be using that format as I need large files on it. I have a Samsung TV and it has a dedicated usb port for USB HDD'sIt supplies extra voltage for the external drive and my HDD will only show up in this port.On LG's site they say that the TV's support a maximum of 5V 500ma power and maximum 2TB USB HDDYou could try a powered usb hub which should allow you to plug it into any port on the TV as the hub supplies power to the HDD not the TVttps /www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Ultra-Powered-Power-Supply/dp/B0061RSACG/ref=sr19?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=1-9&keywords=powered+usb+hub.
