I got the OEM usb adapter kit that has the SD card adapter as one part and the USB as the other. I plugged a usb hub into the adapter and can run keyboard and usb at the same time. The keyboard I have has a track stick in the middle so you get mouse support too kinda fun.

I bought one multi card reader from ebay but whatever card I tried (micro sd, SD class 10, SD calss 2, SE memory stick) it tells me that the card is corrupted and you should format it. Actually the cards are fine and can read them in my camera, phone or PC. Am I missing something here or it is just plug and play and the reader is not working at all. I has an LED that turns on after I insert a card.

I bought this on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

So far I have only tested USB storage by flash drives. NTFS is not readable. It shows as Empty / Corrupt. However, if the storage is formatted FAT16 or 32 it shows, reads, and writes just fine.

I have the same cable as 0okami and its working all right. Sometimes I get a mesaage that a high power USB device is connected, but unplugging the cable (not only the flash drive) solves the issue (unless it really is a powered USB device). I tried also keyboard which worked great as well. NTFS not supported only FAT.

I also used it to connected devices with mini USB (PS3 controller )

I bought the adapter from Samsung. I am only using as SDCARD reader - haven't tried USB. Works great with a 32gb card. However, you must be careful and let the TAB eject the card reader - before removing it from the device. If you don't.. really good chance you will get a corrupt card next time it is installed. The card will still read fine on your computer - but needs formatting to be used again on the TAB. Solution... I put the card in my phone (Galaxy Nexus) and formatted. Put it back in the TAB and all is well.
