How do I use my external hard drive on my Galaxy Tab 3? Will my Toshiba hard drive work?

[AC Question]

how do I use my external hard drive on my galaxy tab 3? will my Toshiba hard drive work?

I bought a USB adapter and can't get my external hard drive to work on it. Are certain hard drives not compatible? Do I have to buy samsung hard drive as well?

Welcome to Android Central! Which Tab 3 do you have, the 7" variety? From what I could find on the web, the Tab 3 7.0 does not​ support OTG adapters. The larger Tab 3 varieties do.
