Hard disk problem

[soufimni]

Dear all

I have recently bought a hard disk StoreJet® 25A3 500G which is working perfectly on my laptop, but the only problem that occurs is when i connect it to Smart Samsung TV to watch movies it could not be detectable whereas the LED light is flashing blue and the Samsung TV is supporting the other USB.your help is highly appreciated in this matter thank you .

best regards.

It might not be passing enough power to the disk, or perhaps the HDD is using a file system the smart tv software doesn't support.

What TV is it?

Hi there soufimni,

I would agree with Dr Girlfriend.
You can see if this is some sort of a power related issue, if you use some of these Y type of USB cables.
You need to make sure that the drive is in a file format that is supported by the TV. You can check that out in Disk Management.
Some TVs have maximum external storage limitation. You can check that out in the TV's manual.

Let us know how this goes,
