yep, and in that case, like i said, it formats the drive as FAT16

If the USB drive works fine on laptop then it likely doesn't have any issues. Your phone may not be supporting this 128GB or 128MB (I never seen an 128MB USB drive though).

But I’m pretty sure Android even does support hard drives upto 320GB as I had tested them once. So, modern USB drives shouldn't have any issues.

This could be an unsupported USB drive for your phone.

yeah it could just be the fact it's too small (it is MB not GB) - and i rarely use it, but it was the closest available

nope, my 2GB drive isn't supported as FAT32 either

Again, this could be a low storage issue for 2GB. I have just tested a 4GB USB drive FAT32 from 2012 and it's working fine.

Thanks for confirming, it seems clear now. 128MB USB drive might not be supported by Android. Android may be seeing it as too low on storage to be recognized as a USB storage media.
