TV boots slowly when using USB as storage expansion

by Trust__Nobody

Recently added USB as extra storage for my Google TV OS. Ever since then powering up seems a long drawn-out process with the TV often starting out from the Google bootup splash screen. A helpful user on the Bravia sub has commented it may be to do with slow usb r/w speeds but also wanted to check in this sub.

TV=Sony XR-77A80J

TV Firmware 6.5939 (I think a new release is imminent)

Andoid TV O/S = 10, Security Patch ver 1 April 2022, Kernel 4.19.75

OS Build: BRAVIA_VH2_EU-user 10 QTG3.200305.006.S164

USB = SanDisk 32GB Cruzer Snap USB (usb 2.0)

Any help appreciated

Usb 2.0 is slow when your tv is scanning the usb for media. Smaller size = faster scan.

What are you using the additional storage for?

USB 2.0 is not fit for adopted storage purposes. It's simply too slow.

USB 2.0 is painfully slow. NEVER use it for anything you need to be used quickly

Thanks to all who commented.

Migration to USB3 rated stick on USB3.0 rated port on Bravia TV has resolved the matter.
