WD 1.5TB My Passport Portable Hard Drive

would this work??????????

I'm not really sure on this. Some things I've read, people cant get drives to show up over 1 TB. Another post I read on XDA indicates someone managed to get 2 TB working. I can't say much because I know at least with NTFS, I need to install Paragon to mount the drives I have because I'm not willing to wipe them to another format. I have a 1 TB HP drive and a 3 TB Seagate drive. So far I'm happy with my 500 GB Western Digital laptop drive as I have plans to make a new case to house the whole setup with a USB hub.

I experimented with vold.fstab and two other pieces of software to see which one would give me the best results. The instructions for vold.fstab are found here:

However, I found that my best solution was to change it to the following:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.0/mmc_host/mmc2
#dev_mount usbdrive /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci.2/usb2

I added the # on the second line. I added it there because while Ouya successfully loaded up my portable hard drive, it didn't give me write access to it without unmounting it and using another piece of software to remount it to give it write access. In addition, it only read 1 portable hard drive at a time and wouldn't allow me to read a second portable hard drive in my 7 port USB hub.

My solution was not complete until I installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ (from the Google Play Store). After I installed Paragon, I auto mounted my two portable 2TB hard drives (Western Digital).

From that point forward, I have read and write access to my NTFS hard drives which auto mount as soon as my Ouya starts and I'm good to go with my Folder Mount. My first 2TB hard drive has all my games and roms while my second one has XBMC installed and all my movies and pics. The best part is that I didn't have to mess around with partitions or reformatting my NTFS hard drives. Everything just works.

Hope my solution is helpful to someone else.

Glad you found something that works for you Emanuel. I'm trying to avoid using Paragon for my main project because I'm still working on getting the APKs off of the internal space. Im using about 2GB with installed games and apps of the 5 GB available while my USB drive handles the large game data. I'll be trying a method soon to automount an ext4 partition on my 500 GB drive and then symlink /data/app. I think the reason we don't have APP2SD support is because there is only one partition on the internal flash and only a symlink as the "SD Card" storage. SD Card lives on the same space as the system.
