As I mentioned, I have a Sony TV. Sony is not known to be customer-friendly 
with regards to openness and Digital Restrictions Management. But since it’s 
GoogleTV, it eats sticks and HDDs alike. I actually have a USB 2 extension 
cord dangling from the back to the front.

I don’t even have to format it with the TV. It will only add all the 
Android-typical directories when I stick in a drive for the first time. The 
only case when I would need to format a drive: if I want to use it to record 
TV onto it. Because then the recording is DRM-entangled to only be watchable 
on that TV.
