This sounds strange but i want to format a 3 terabyte external hard drive as 2 terabytes for my TV USB Media Player.
I have a vizio 60 inch smart TV that will only accept a 2 Terabyte external drive at USB 2.0. How do I format the 3 terabyte drive to exactly replicate a 2 terabyte? I have a vast library of MP4 movies and need to expand. I have 2 - 3 terabyte hard drives that are not in use and wish to utilize them to be accepted by the TV.
Here is the Neat Thing I discovered. Although, the TV only has 1 USB input, I successfully plugged a 4 port powered USB 2.0 hub into the TV with the TV reading 2 different 2 terabyte hard drives (that is all the 2 terabyte drives I have). I was very excited. Today I am going to try a 7 port powered USB. This will give me a possibility of 14 terabytes of storage.
Thanks for your replies.
