Am looking for the above in a low profile,my google fu is failing though :o
Wanting at least a 500GB or 1TB
it is to increase the storage on my tablet as i am over the recommended size of 128 GB(got a 256GB to work)

any suggestions/name of what to search for please :)
 
mmmmmm i `think` i typed LOW PROFILE......... in my first post
All that has came up as far as i can find are `standard` flash drives :(:cry:
 
yeah usb thumb drive
tried an external ssd and hdd not enough power from the tablet to run
need to be a small (physical)size as i am worried about snapping the port with a standard usb thumb drive
Got a few sandisk small size drives but they are all `normal`usb connections and i want usb c
I tried to set up my router as a nas and even access my other pcs via the tablet with no luck so far :(
 
yeah

So you're talking about something like this but with a type-c connector?
Or like this..

DataTraveler microDuo 3C USB Type-C and Type-A Flash Drive - Kingston Technology

DataTraveler® microDuo™ 3C USB flash drive has a dual interface that works with both newer USB Type-C® and traditional Type-A ports, making it an ideal way to provide up to 256GB of extra storage for the latest smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.

Just with larger capacity?

e: If so you're probably look for what's commonly called a micro or mini USB drive. I can't recall seeing them in capacities much above 256GB. :(

yeah like that with at least 500GB or better 1 TB but with type-c connection
 
an extension lead is a possibility,i have tried and it worked with this tablet.I tried with a samsung external hdd and it would not power on
Perhaps i am worrying too much about damage
I get comfy in the chair/recliner and rest the tablet on my lap
Last resort is to delete a lot of the books/manga off the tablet to make room but i know as soon as i do i will want to re-read something :(

i got some spare ssd and will try them in a caddy first before getting buying a large ssd i think
Thanks for all the advice :)
 
lenovo tb x606f
Says it will only take upto 128GB but i have a 256 GB working fine
happy with the tablet but as always you always want more storage than you think

tablet has 128GB onboard but when you set the sd to be used you cant store stuff on the onboard ...........mmmmm
had a thought
if i set the sd card to removable i wonder if i can use the onboard as well
Will have go with a different card first i think
 
Just swapped out an ssd into a caddy and it is seen by the tablet :)
However the adapter cable sticks out a long way and i am not confident in not snapping the port
I will keep as is until i can find/or they make a small profile type-c drive
Thanks for all the help guys :)

It has an SDXC card support which go to 2TB so use a larger SD card?

I'd keep the internal and external storage separate. Not sure why you are recommended to only use 128GB of 256GB

lenovo site is listing 128GB as max sd size i have a 256 GB card working fine though
I did not think it would support them
 
UPDATE
Got a 512GB card in the sales
had a bit of fun getting it to format as FAT32
and loaded it up with my files,tablet sees it ok ,makes me wish i had got a 1TB card instead :D :cry:

If you are worried about snapping the port, have a look at the usb-c magnetic adapters - a little nub goes in the port and a magnetic connector snaps to that - similar to the apple magsafe system

interesting :)
Got this working now but i will look into this as well
Only problem i could see is that i would need the right angles mag usb-c THEN an adapter to take a USB memory stick (as usb-c memory sticks are currently not large enough storage )
