Connecting SATA / SSD to Mi Box.

by Ep1c1nCoGn1tO

Hi guys,

I wanted to know if any of you have tried connecting a SATA drive to an Android TV Mi box or if its possible. I am looking forward to kind of have a library online for shows that I use on Plex / VLC.

Any inputs would be helpful, I have no clue yet except I know SATA cable to USB is available.

I tried a 2.5" mechanical HGST 500GB drive inside a SATA III to USB enclosure with my Mi Box. It works fine as removable storage without any powered USB hub. I also tested writing files to this drive (formatted with exFAT) with MiXplorer's custom driver for USB OTG. It also works.

It'll work with a USB adapter.

You mention having a library online with a USB disk connected to a Mibox. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly, but your wording makes me think you are going to be disappointed. Could you clarify what you are trying to achieve?
