HDD on tablet?
Good evening.
Can I safely connect the WD Elements HDD to a Tab A7 using an OTG adapter via the USB C port?
The drive works fine and is recognized. I'm just concerned about the USB-C power supply, as a 2.5" USB hard drive can sometimes draw more than 1A during spin-up.
Should I get a USB hub with an external power supply or will this work in the long run?
Thank you for the answers.
I also have several HDDs (2.5″) in use for backup purposes, and they run completely smoothly on different notebooks as well as on PC.
