External storage for my nexus 10

[ginjagaiden]

Hi guys.

New to this forum. Just bought a nexus 10 16gb and I was wondering, Is it possible to use something like a sandisk 32gb via the mini usb port to store additional files from my nexus.

I'm a tech noob so I was looking for some good advice.

Thanks

Yes, I use a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and a SanDisk SDDR-121-A11M MobileMate Micro Memory Card Reader to use the SDCard I bought for my old Xoom. The OTG cable I use is the Motorola Camera Connection Kit for the Xoom, but I'm sure there are cheaper options out there.

I have also connected a flash drive and a powered external hard drive to my Nexus 10 with the same OTG adapter, but found I also needed a USB Y Cable to provide power to the USB port when the Nexus got below 90% battery power (a Nexus 10 dock would probably remove this need).
