Why won’t my S
amsung TV recognise my external 6TB WD Hard Drive?
Either it doesn’t support GPT partition type, or doesn’t support NTFS format.
You’d have to ask Samsung.
all of that … and there is a Hard Drive size/capacity limit
even Samsung say a 3TB or 4TB may not work, and recommend re-partitioning to 2TB
so, you haven’t got hope that a 6TB will work. and re-partitioning to 2TB would be a huge waste of space.
my advice … buy a Media Player that supports large USB hard drives
example: My Raspberry Pi 3 B+ can handle 8TB hard drives and most probably even larger ones.
Joey,
I’ve been running my WD My Book 6TB on my raspberry pi and I’d love to compare notes with you if you wouldn’t mind. My Book - WDBBGB0060HBK-NESN 6TB - Format to Linux EXT4
Cheers!
