It would be useful if it worked with a non wired USB on ocassion as well (like my existing cyclone)
Hi
I'm looking to get something for my dad to watch movies on a portable hard drive. most of the time it will be a large 4tb seagate drive or possibly a smaller usb some times.
I did get chromecast before I realised that it needed to be hooked into the network (so effectively having the drive plugged into laptop)
I've used a Sumvison Cylcone for a few years and was ok apart from the poor remote. This doesn't seem to work with a 5TB Seagate drive. Is that because it's a very large drive or a USB 3 issue?
I saw Sumvision Micro 4 recommended on Amazon. I assume this will work in same way as my existing Cylcone ie plug in the hard drive and off you go no hooking upto network.
Any views from owners or alternative recommended products?
