MC2 Post 1452 How To Use USB Drives With the Nexus 7 and Other Android Devices

From: http://www.howtogeek.com

The Nexus 7 may not have a lot of storage space – especially the original 8 GB model – but you can connect a USB drive to it if you want to watch videos or access other files.

Unfortunately, Android doesn’t automatically mount USB drives by default. You’ll need to root your device to enable support for USB drives.

Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.5

-------------------------------------------------------------

The StickMount app: StickMount is available for free from Google Play. Note that

StickMount only works if your device is rooted.

ES File Explorer or another file manager app: We’ll be using ES FIle Explorer here, but you

can also use another file manager if you prefer it.

Exclusive: Inside Google Spanner, the Largest

Single Database on Earth

“You walk into our cubes, and we’ve got VC on — all the time,” says Fikes, who joined Google

in 2001 and now ranks among the company’s distinguished software engineers. “We’ve been

doing this for years. It lowers all the barriers to communication that you typically have.”

The arrangement is only appropriate. Much like the engineering team that created it, Spanner is something that stretches across the globe while

behaving as if it’s all in one place.

Unveiled this fall after years of hints and rumors, it’s the first worldwide database worthy of the name — a database designed to seamlessly operate across hundreds of data centers and millions of machines

and trillions of rows of information.

Facebook is already building a system that’s somewhat similar to Spanner, in that it aims to juggle information across multiple data centers. Judging from our discussions with Facebook about this system — known as Prism — it’s quite different from Google’s creation. But it shows that other outfits are now staring down many of the same data problems Google first faced in years past.
