Newer android phones no longer need any external power. They even power up spinning 2.5mm hdd using single usb c cable. New android phones read/write both exFat and NTFS equally well.

I bought the external hard disk but I couldn't connect it to my phone and I can't afford the multiple host connector can I use a power bank to power the hard-disk
@358kasey7 жыл бұрын
The hard drive only has one USB output, so once you plug it into the power bank, you would't be able to connect it to your phone. The only other options I can give are to either try plugging it into your phone with just the OTG cable and no extra power source, or to wait until you can afford the powered USB hub.

358kasey bit can I use a USB that has two output and one input so that I connect the hard-disk and the power bank at one end and connect the second end to my otg
@358kasey7 жыл бұрын
This might work, but I cannot say for sure. First I would suggest plugging the hard drive directly into the OTG cable that is plugged into your phone, just to test if it works. If you hear any noises coming from the drive, promptly unplug it. Other than that, I would recommend waiting until you have a powered USB hub. Hope this helps.

Would you be interested in testing Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB On-the-Go by Paragon Software? The app enables access external storage formatted on macOS or Windows and read, write to, transfer, edit, copy, manage files between Android devices and removable storage media. Paragon’s drivers let Android users access exFAT, NTFS, FAT32 and HFS+ partitions with easy.

I could not get this to work on a Galaxy A9 with or without a powered hub. However, I didn't have to root my phone to get this to work on hard drives formatted with exFAT. I just reformatted two hard drives using exFAT, an option under Windows. I am now reading a Western Digital 2 Terabyte hard drive using OTG USB. No problems. No overheating even without external power. Nada. I am using the Total Commander App to select files with M557 Bluetooth mouse, great for watching videos with a head mounted device and iPlay SBS Player. Works with 2D & 3D videos.

Michael John David You could try using just an OTG adapter with your hard drive, but it is not recommended, because it may not supply the power that your hard drive needs. If you choose to do this, be cautious, and unplug your hard drive if it makes any unusual sounds, like clicking. Remember, this would be at your own risk.
