Adding and Removing an External USB Device

You can add external USB disks to either of the HP Media Vault's two USB
ports (one on the back and one on the front). Small USB disks, such as key
disks and jump drives, can also be attached. Portable devices, such as
cameras and phones, can be attached if your system detects those devices as
USB storage devices. If you have any questions, check with the USB
manufacturer to verify that the device is classified as a USB storage device.
The contents of the USB device are made available for media streaming once
the device is plugged into the Media Vault.
To connect an external USB drive

questions, see the documentation that came with your USB device. If you use

2.0 or later.
A shared folder is automatically created for the USB device when it is
plugged into the USB port. For additional information, see
