Appreciate the quick reply.
I plug hard drive into a ANDROID TV device, it says 'drive is corrupt, click to fix' and clicking takes me to a screen which just says the device is safely ejected.
Yes, this happens periodically with both wall powered hard drives (like a WD Elements) and usb powered hard drives. It mostly happens when the hard drive is moved from being connected a PC to connect to android tv (NVIDIA SHIELD, or ANDROID TV running on a TV) but also happens when unplugging from SHIELD and plugging into TV. Safely ejecting before disconnection does not prevent the issue.
Attempted Remedies: 1. Plugging into a PC, reformatting (all formats such as exfat, fat 32 etc attempted), and plugging back into Android TV.
2. Rebooting Android TV (SHIELD and TV devices) and then plugging in hard drive.
Android just decides, at some point, that its no longer corrupted (as in, I leave the hard drive unplugged for a week out of frustration, I plug it in, and voila it works for no reason). I have seen this issue posted around reddit and other such sites, and have yet to see anyone with a theory behind the actual issues. One person suggested its windows 10 because using a windows 8 device to reformat the device fixed the issue for them but that seems odd.
Appreciate any ideas or theories.
