USB OTG Max Drive Size?



Anyone know the max size of drive attached to MXPE USB OTG?

I verified an old 320GB FAT32 2.5" external USB 2.0 drive works.

However, a new 2TB FAT32 2.5" external USB 3.0 drive does not work. It crashes the phone hard to a self-inflicted reboot every time it starts to mount it.

Both drives "mount" OK to a WinXP system. Both drives have enough extra power through a Y-cable and/or powered USB hub when connected to the phone, so power is not the problem. Both drives were partitioned and formatted to FAT32 using GParted (on Parted Magic boot CD).

Update on power: Newer 2.5" external drives don't need additional power using Y-cable or powered hub.

Any info would be appreciated.
