No trouble like another TV company, with Toshiba TV, as long as the TV has a USB port, you can access the contents of the hard drive easily. Thanks to that, you can enjoy watching your favorite HD movies, but just note on the TV specifications that support USB port not.

How much is the capacity of the hard drive suitable?

In theory, Toshiba TVs, once able to connect to a hard drive, should be able to receive all levels of hard drive capacity. This means that Toshiba TVs do not limit the capacity of the hard drives to connect to the TV. However, in reality, the larger the capacity of the hard drive, the more difficult it is to connect to the TV. Therefore, to ensure normal operation of the TV as well as the hard drive, you should connect the Toshiba TV to the hard drive with a capacity of less than 2T.

In addition, you must also pay attention to the power supply for the hard drive as follows:

+ Hard drive 500 GB or less: With a hard drive below 500 GB, you just need to connect the hard drive to the Toshiba TV and you can comfortably view the contents of the hard drive.

+ Hard drive over 500 GB: With hard drives with capacity from 500 GB or more, you need to power the hard drive to ensure enough power to connect to the hard drive. You just need to equip a Y-shaped cable, with the other end plugged into the other USB port of Toshiba TV to supply enough power for the hard drive, you can quickly connect to hard drives larger than 500 GB.

+ If still not connected, you can unplug the hard drive and try factory reset and reset the TV .
