USB Storage issue

[swanscn]

 I just tested a Lexar 64GB memory stick, after reformatting to FAT32 worked without issue, would not work with Win 7 ExFat formatting. I also am using a USB extender cable since the device may not fit real well.

my external HDD's turn on when plugged into the usb, but they can't be read by the TPT.

Wanted to offer some input in my appreciation to all on this forum.  Here is what I have tried:

Sandisk Cruzer, 4 and 8 gb, variety of formats - only the 8 bg worked, had to be fat 32.  Kingston 16 - fat 32 worked.  Lexar 64 did not.  Sandisk Ultra 32 - fat 32 only

Hard Drives - WD 2TB.  Drive worked but tablet would not recognize.  Attached with reboot but nope.  Same for portable drive (seagate 450 mb)

Hit and miss with a variety of SD cards.

Will seek a return.  There should be no issues of any usb drives or SD cards working.  Just not acceptable given the standardization of these.

I have a question, and it might be dumb. My TPT can read off my NTFS formatted WD harddisk (network attached), so why can it not read off NTFS formatted USB drives?
