Also the proprietary video player is very good, reading all kinds of formats, including MKV and TS.
A relatively large external drive defeats the purpose of a small tablet, particularly one as svelte and light as the N7. If I really need some extra storage, I can take my tiny & thin 64GB Wi-Drive. The 500GB GoFlex Satellite drive stays at home.
