Has anyone got a drive plugged into the USB3 or the USB2 socket? Every time I do it a message comes on the screen to say that the drive is corrupted. I have tried three different ones with the same result.

Has anyone got a drive plugged into the USB3 or the USB2 socket? Every time I do it a message comes on the screen to say that the drive is corrupted. I have tried three different ones with the same result.Are these NTFS drives? Android and the Aura use FAT32.

Thank you, Mars, My Windows 10 computer formats them as NTFS. I thought this was standard? I thought FAT32 was the old standard?

There are apps that claim to allow Android devices to use NTFS, which you should be able to find by searching for 'NTFS' in Get More Apps (I have never tried any such app), or just use FAT32.

Do we know if Aura supports both MBR and GPT partitioning schemes?

NTFS is a microsoft licenced File System . It has a maximum filesize of 1 byte less than 4MB. The same issue affect X Box users
Windows can only format relatively small partitions.
Easiest way to format a large FAT 32 disk is

https://www.easeus.com/partition-master/smartdisk-fat32-format-utility-tool.htmlIf this was true then no one using Windows 10 would be able to use a file larger than 4MB! FAT32 has a maximum file size of 4GB, but the maximum file size for NTFS is larger than the size of any existing HDD.

I know but HD bitrates and the latest H264/AVC encoders and stat muxing mean that even the longest movies will be smaller than this. Average bitrates on say BBC1-HD are less than the best SD channels of a few years ago.
Even a HD transmission of Gone With The Wind will fit. AFAiK the longest movie so far produced.
USB 3.0 is way faster than anything required for UHD streaming with even Disney+ with atmos.
Anyone who thinks a SSD will help is deluded. It will reduce noise and power consumption a little but otherwise have no effect. A standard low speed sata drive has More than enough speed to deliver flawless recording for any multituner box (including 4K) .
The processor uses interrupts to process things like USB transfers to ensure that the main pvr capabilities like recording and playback are flawless while processing USB functions. Stealing clock cycles when the cpu allows.
As it happens the G2 boxes can use NTFS drives.
