Hi Dan, If by hard drives, you mean that the regular-size USB part of it can be plugged into a computer, then yes--the bigger plugs into your computer port. Does that answer your question? If not, please post again and I'll be happy to see if I can be more specific.

It is a mini USB at one end and a regular USB at the other. It can be used for hard drives, if that's what yours uses. It is not a micro USB for a smart phone, like I accidentally thought it was.

The photo/pic is different and for that reason, I would avoid it. I have no idea why they changed the photo but they better clarify it. I would if I were selling the thing.

I bought this cord for my Samsung Digital Camera, but I believe it is a mini.

Yes, it is USB. I had not noticed that it did not tell us that in the description, which they SHOULD HAVE! (I think, when I purchased it, I just assumed it was USB, and got lucky.)

Wait am I confusing this product this product with something else? You can't put a hard drive in this one right? Only External?

I think it is more of a Mini-B USB cable. As explained in:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Mini_and_Micro_connectors

This is a Seagate portable hard drive, with USB 3 Port. The unit is factory sealed. You would violate the warranty to open it for inspection, or otherwise. It is intended to be used only as it is manufactured and provided, via a USB cable to a notebook, or desktop PC. You need to investigate internal drives for dock support.G. Combs

Yes, this is just a standard Type A USB to Type B Mini USB cable. It has a magnetic choke on it, but otherwise is a fairly common cable and you may already have a similar one at home for an older phone or external USB drive.

It isnt anything special. Just make sure you get a mini usb to 2 regular usb cable. (Yes, that is one end is a MINI USB (not micro) and then the other end will have 2 regular sized USBs.) It is because one pulls power and the other actually send/receives the data IIRC

It is a 2.5 inch style drive. But check the specs to make sure this drive is the right thickness (height) for your application. I use TWO of these in my Mac Mini which I upgraded. Like them very much so far, no problems here.

From what I can tell it should work with it. I am using it with the full size usb, so I don't know how it works with mini usb.

Someone said this is a SATA backplane. It is has nothing to do with SATA, it is not a backplane an has nothing to do with drive connectors.

Initially it worked great with my Toshiba portable hard drive (Toshiba Canvio Basics Portable Hard Drive 320 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive) but after about two weeks, for some reason I started getting errors when I plugged my hard drive into to it. It has worked fine for other devices though - speakers, my wired keyboard, mouse. And it has no problem reading my smaller flash drives. My 8G Sandisk flash drive works fine when plugged in directly. Hope that helps a little. Thanks-

I don't know what the WD hard drive calls for but I doubt it. This has the "micro" USB plug on one end, which is smaller than most external hard drives I've used have.

All I know is this. It is non-powered hub. Works for multiple flash drives *as many as three have worked at the same time for me*, but if you try external hard drives you will run into difficulty because there is insufficient power from a single USB port to run multiple devices that need more power. t

Yes this a very cool device! It is a standard USB and a micro USB . It's a standard USB memory device with a micro USB adapter. So u can use the adaptor with any USB device . It's tiny. Very cool. Love it. Worth the money.

It has an SD card slot. You will need to store the information somewhere, so if you do not want to put a hard drive in it, at least have stuff on an SD card and you will be able to use it like that.If you have no hard drive and no SD card, then you cannot use it as there is no storage space to look at.It has a Mini B USB port, but I did not try to connect anything to it. That is usually how I connect it to my computer to put stuff on it, but I did not use it for a storage device...I hope this helps.

Well, a USB back up? SO you have turned it into a external hard drive? If so it most likley just needs to be configured into what you want it to do. Odd though, never had this problem with any hard drive I have ever worked with or bought.
