Adding storage to TCL Android TV

by PROX00

Hello I am trying to add ssd to my android TV but here is the issue: When I plug my ssd it shows as removable storage and when I click on the disk it give me the option to "erase & format as removable storage" and no option for formatting as internal storage.

I tried different cables, drives, formatting the disk from my pc.

My TV running. Android TV version 11.

Anyone had this issue before.

edit: after many restarts and diffrent cables and drives, i plugged the drive and got a notification on right side on home screen to setup device (no mention on formating as internal drive on settings just "setup device") and it worked

Probably the ssd requires more power than the usb slot can provide. See if pen drives work, they require less power

Try the option provided "erase and format as external device", may be after that it might show. The format might be the issue.
