Appropriate hard drive capacity

Depending on the purpose of using the hard drive, you can choose the appropriate capacity level, to ensure smooth operation when connecting to LG TV.

- If you connect the hard drive to the TV to read content such as listening to music, watching movies, watching photos: In fact, the higher the capacity of the hard drive, the more difficult it will be for the TV to read the content. Therefore, it is best to use a hard drive of less than 2T capacity.

- If you connect a hard drive to record TV shows: Time Machine recording is a very handy feature on LG smart TVs. To save TV recorded programs, you need to use a storage device, in which a hard drive is a very popular choice. If you connect the hard drive to the LG smart TV to store recorded programs, a hard drive with a capacity of 40G to 2T must be used.

Fix TV hard drive not recognized

If you connect the hard drive to LG TV and the TV does not recognize, you can fix it by the following ways:

- Power supply for the hard drive. As the article mentioned above, the normal USB 2.0 port will not have enough power to maintain the operation of the hard drive, especially hard drives with a capacity of over 1T. Therefore, to be sure, you should equip yourself with a Y-shaped USB cable, to be able to power the drive through the USB port on the TV.
