cgtorrent said:anyone figured out how to get the powered usb drive to work yet? is there away? it's useless if it's only SD card & flash drive. I need my 500GB drive

if my 500GB usb drive is formatted as FAT then i still have to use terminal to mount for iFILE to see it. it doesn't show up automatically like the SD card. Mac OSX extended format is not mountable either. So for now is FAT but have to use terminal to mount & couldn't unmount... have to restart the ipad for it to go away... very annoying.

danialbi said:Try to summarize ipad2 JB 4.3.3 & cck based on my experience:
* SD/SDHC - 100% works (at least upto 32G...)
* USB thumbdrive - Only issue with ipad2 limited current 30mA;Fix by using externally powered hub (battery if you want mobile!) about $40
* USB HD - That's the tricky one. In addition to 30mA current limit, apparently requires 'digital camera protocol' !?; Fix by buying Hyperdrive enclosure HDIP-000 about $100
Anyone lucky with a different setup? Any info on this 'digital camera protocol' of weird 'mounting cmd line stuff'?
