You need an OTG cable, MicroUSB one one end and a USB type A socket on the other end. Looking at the link though it appears the device has to be rooted, I don't know if that's the case with other Android tables.

Other than that, I've seen Wifi storage devices, although if you're going to get something like that and just use it at home maybe you could just get an app to copy stuff over the network.
