USB or just USB-HDD

JohnCole — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:23:16 GMT

I have a KDL-32W654A that has the capability of recording to a 32 GB or larger HDD.

Will this also record to a 32 GB memory stick?

As far as my PC is concerned such a memory stick looks just like a FAT32 HDD.

So if it won't work that way with the TV, why not?

Hi there

Yes it should work. Once registered to the TV, you cannot use it on a PC without formatting it again, therefore it must be dedicated to the TV.

Cheers

Be aware of two things:

Sony clearly states that it should be an HDD UDB, so you cannot complain if it doesn't work
As Quinninus said it should work, but it doesn't mean nothing that your PC recognize it: in order to be good for recording you USB stick should be fast enough (reading/writing rate). This is checked during the registration process, if it fails you cannot use it. I personally had the same problem with a Samsung tv (that is more "easy" accepting even a 2GB stock, but only a fast one)

I got a 128gb usb 2.0 thinking it would work but not so. Have since got a 64gb usb 3.0 and it works so if you thinking of buying a new usb probably best to go with 3.0 standard
