In need of a portable hard drive that will permanently be dedicated to an android box for media playing, to locally play movies.
Is it best to plug and play an external portable hard drive or should i get something special if its daily use for up to a year?
In the following list some need a hub or adapter in order to connect a hard drive, I just share the whole list so you can learn that Android TV is more than the Nvidia Shield and the Xiaomi Mi Box:
