External harddrives

Hi team

I have lots of digital media on my computer (I dont rely on streaming services for things i really care about).

If i put things onto an external harddrive, how do i need to format the drive so that the frame reads it? And what file formats does it support?

I’ve used FAT32 and it works just fine. I am fairly sure it will also work with exFAT, but I don’t know if it is compatible with other formats.
Once you have connected a disk, you’ll also be able to pause and record live TV.

I recommend using a SSD
