How big (physically) is this drive? Will I be able to plug it in between other things in a USB cluster or will it need to have its own separate area?

Hello Justin. The drive is bigger than others but not so much. I can plug it with other devices without any problem.Regards.

I can plug a USB cable in next to the HyperX, but not some other USB flash drives. The read/write speed great.

Dimensions: 2 3/4" long without cap, 5/8" thick, and 59/64" (slightly less than 15/16) wide.I have used it in a cluster on an HP Envy and it is a tight fit. I would guess that two of these stacked on top of each other may not fit.

It is a little chunky width wise. Don't count on it fitting next to something else in the USB cluster.The Samsung extreme is a comparable drive with the thinness you need.

It is pretty wide so if the usb cluster is side by side then it will no fit but if vertical it may.

It's a little bit fatter than the smaller USB drives. If the USB ports are side by side, you should have no problem. If the USB ports are one above the other, you might need a connecting cable for this drive.

Haven't had that problem It is longer than most but that is more than likely due to the design of the board and drive inside. It is about three inches in length, little less than 0.75 in in height and a little less than 0.5 in in width. Hope that helps

It's a bit larger. In my MacBook, when I try to put it side by side with other USB devices, I need to pull it a little.I already have trouble trying to connect 2 USB devices in a PC. But the robustness and the speed transfers are amazing.If you need to use two device frequently, I recommend that you buy a extension cable too.AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Extension Cable - A-Male to A-Female - 3.3 Feet (1 Meter)

This is a standard sized drive. I swapped out the HDD in my MacBook Pro for this very drive with no issues at all.

The plug is the same as any normal USB drive, it's just held in a smaller length container. So to summarize normal width and form factor smaller length

You will want to get a standard Micro USB cable (USB A Male to Micro B Male). Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Cable-Micro-Meters/dp/B003ES5ZSW/ However, this is probably unnecessary since the drive will come with a cable that will work. You can use a USB 3 cable on a USB 2 port.

I am not sure as I have so many USB cables but the one in the package, as I haven't used this drive yet is 16" long - more than adequate. I have no problems. But I also tend to only carry one cord and use it on the various devices.

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

I use a thumb drive I'm on my western digital units. The largest one I used was a 64 gig and it use it with no problem.

A usb enclosure has nothing to do w disk size. You could put any 2.5" SATA hard drive in there and ir will work. I use it for a 1 TB hdd also

I haven't tried anything that large. I do have a couple of them, but I have only used a 32g thumb drive.

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

This is a network attached storage device. Not a USB drive. You need ethernet for this drive.

I keep it just plugged in all the time regardless of what I do with the (desktop) computer. The drive seems to be performing well and I think I've had it more than a year. I'm using it for local file sync'ing. It's usb so you should not need to mount or unmount.

Portable HDD will fit in; however desktop version is bigger one and won't be able to fit in.

Still usb- Hard to do with many computers. You really need a NAS for that. The drive is fast and just what I expected.

It won't fit in a laptop. It's too tall. This is meant as a more external drive. I didn't keep mine when I found out it didn't fit.
