Can I use a USB key on a Toshiba 10.1 16GB Tablet? I know that there are two ports- for a mini and regular USB. I have heard that some customers are reporting that they are unable to use a USB key other than for external hardware - keyboard, mouse etc.

Hi There,

 

Thanks for your question - I followed up with Toshiba and here is there answer:

 

They should both work with USB external storage, but the drive has to be formatted in FAT or FAT32, it will not be able to read a NTFS USB Key.

 

I hope this helps!

If this is the Thrive, which it sounds like, then Android will need you to download a file manager in order to access USB storage devices. The Marketplace will have plenty of options for that.
