Is this compatible with a 2tb external hard drive

[flarbort]

Can the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player play files off an external hard drive of 2tbs or higher? Thanks!

If you're talking about the SMP - yes, it can - though you *might experience issues from the rear port. The front port will definitely work.

Thanks! And by "SMP" you mean "streaming? media player" right?

This is the one I'm planning on purchasing:

I'm trying to watch a 3d MKV file on my 3D LG tv. Do you think I'll have an issue with the 3D part?

Thanks!

That is a very old player which is no longer supported by WD. Its a WDTV HD Media Player (gen1)

I've been using a 3TB advanced format and a 2TB advanced format from a 2 drive external through the rear USB port.  It worked fine most of the time although it sometimes would spontaneously alert me that the drives had been removed.  The 3TB drive failed the other day , but I don't see any other issues reports like mine so it was probably an every day drive failure.

Is this unit compatible with a 3TB external hard drive with latest firmware? I read an internet forum post where someone had firmware 1.06.15.

Is this info god?

Yes, it will work with an external 3TB HD.

I've used WD and Seagate 3TB HD's and both worked.

the player might have rear port 'issues' dealing with a 2tb drive but not a 3tb drive?
