Does player support video break point. When power is cut & than turned back on again... Can movie start from the point where it was cut? Do I need to program it everytime or is once enough? Power, program & that's all?

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

Yes, you can plug in one (or more, with a hub) USB external drive and share those drives over the network just like the docked drive. Note that each hard disk will be a separate share.

My understanding of your question is that you want to connect and external HD to the NAS usb port. I believe it should be possible and then use the one touch button to transfer. I believe the negative maybe speed of transfer

I have an external USB hard drive connected and it works fine. You can even play back files from the USB drive. I have a 1 TB external drive.

Yes. Powering the harddrive may be an issue if the harddrive requires power from a separate power plug (ie. other than the data connector plug).

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

Edward, if you format the drive as NTFS, you would only be able to view its contents on a Mac. Writing to the drive would not be possible.

If it's a external hard drive, you cannot because there's not enough power running through the device. But thumb drives and flash drives work fine but beware that they transfer very slowly

yes; but USB connection is slower than regular hard drive. However, if you use eSATA connection, it's speed is just like your internal drive.

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

I have powered a small usb drive. I think the key is that you might have to use a drive that is only usb powered, but I don't know entirely for sure. You could always get the cable and try it.

Yes, you simply take the internal SATA hard drive and seat it into this device. Then connect this device to your PC using the provided USB cable. Assuming your PC is Windows XP or later, it should automatically detect this internal hard drive as an additional drive and you can use it just like you would an external hard drive.

Yes, you should be able to. I initially had some issues with Toshiba USB 3.0 portable hard disks and one DS214+ and for efficiency sake just switched to Western Digital drives. Never re-checked the Toshibas to see if it might have been a temporary incompatibility that went away with updates to the DSM software on the DiskStation.

There's not enough power (amps) through USB, it needs to be a self powered drive but yes it can hook up to the USB.Also must be formatted in FAT32.

I don't recommend using a USB flash drive. Use a powered external hard drive.

I have not used this drive personally. But, there is a program called Paragon Software, which has written drivers for OSX to mount NTFS drives, and also drivers for Windows to mount HSF+ drives, so for $19 you'd be golden! They even have a free version for personal use on Windows 8 (and I'm using it on W10 with no problems)
