As far as I know, no Android TV had been reported to be rooted except those fake Android TV boxes sold by Chinese market as ore rooted devices. Depending on devices some devices support upto 4 tb, meanwhile most will support 1 tb and 2 tb without issues. You can't use this HDD anywhere after that. There are ways to achieve this, bit trust me at the end of it all it's just not worth it. Unfortunately there isn't a wise app maker who has even made a file explorer and included this basic necessity. Apps can only write to a particular folder inside a USB disk that's not formatted as internal drive.
