To me, an IT (Information Technology) person, HDD means a Hard Disc Drive - which won't do anything with a TV
unless I add some extra hardware and software to Code and Decode data that might be placed on the drive.
Like, for our home system, we have a TIVO DVR (Digital Video Record) which has a 3TB (teraByte) HDD inside,
with tuners and playback gear built in, so I can record 300+ hours of HDTV (High Def TeleVision).
What do YOU mean when you say hdd ??

Hi,
I don't because my TV is connected to a server. However, most smart TV's can connect an external hard drive via a USB connector.

Yes my tv could be used with an portable hdd by connecting
with the USB on the tv an hdd
can anyone recommend a portable hdd
do I need partitions and all that stuff
Yep, it will need to be formatted in some fashion -
do you have a computer of some sort or other?
What did you want to do with your hdd?
Stick movies on it and play them back later?
Do you have a source for movies or just plan to download from the internet?
.mkv files look really nice but you may need something to decode them in a form your TV can recognize ...
.mp4 files are a bit more universal
.avi file more universal still -
While you may be able to play some kind of files back from the hard drive TO your TV,
You can't just copy from your TV to a hard drive without some hardware
Not sure about any info without knowing your TV set details.
