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

Hello Anthony, As Adam mentioned, most USB hard drives will allow you to transfer your files from one computer to another by transferring the external hard drive from the first computer to the second computer. I would recommend that you use the "Remove Hardware Safely" icon in the Windows Tray before removing the hard drive from your computer to make sure that the data is not corrupted, and thereby, lost. In fact, you should always use that icon, no matter what peripheral (external hard drive, portable hard drive, flash drive, etc.) you use or whether you are transferring data from one computer to another or just making a back-up copy to stay on the peripheral. I hope this is helpful - good luck! Please take care and have a great weekend!

You cannot add a second drive, but you can easily replace the drive with one up to two terabytes.You can also back up recorded events to an external drive via USB, including flash drives or your computer, but realize that this is not "adding" a drive - it's backing up existing events.

The device is USB 3.0 equipped, so as long as (in the case of two separate enclosures) they're both connected via USB 3.0, yes. If you're asking whether it can copy between the drives in its own bays via USB 3.0,the answer is also "yes."USB 3.0 is backward-compatible with 2.0, so it will copy via either.

The process is similar to sitting data on a flash drive. Most computers will read and open your device by simply plugging it in. Copying data can be done by simply right clicking the item you want to copy (press copy from menu list) and right clicking within your open folder (press paste button from menu list). If you don't know how to locate your external hardrive, you can access it by popping up the My Computer or My PC icon on your start menu.Hope that helps!

Are you talking about cloning the contents of this drive to your computer? If so, yes. It is indeed possible, manually or with the help of freeware. I recommend the latter though. I did the opposite though as I have a 3TB drive. Good luck.

No, this is a clone tool for 2 drives not in use or if you have an internal drive that is not primary. If you have 2 drives and don't want to run software to copy them this is the way to do it. Keep in mind its not instant. I copied a 3tb drive and it took 3.5 hours. It can also be used to create a RAID but I wouldn't use it in production.

I know you can switch to use an external hard drive but the box only recognizes one hard drive at a time. Meaning if you use an external drive, it won't let you access the internal hard drive until the external is unplugged.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

yes. I specifically used Casper to clone my internal 500gb hdd to the external 2tb hdd and then I replaced the 500gb with the 2tb and the process went smoothly. Now I turned the old 500gb into a new external drive.

Absolutely!! I just did it again to make sure I answered your question properly. Plug it in, open your file, select it and copy it. Then you can paste it in any other file in your Mac. I love this little item. And the guy from whom I purchased it was quick delivering it. Good luck.

Yes you can - coming from being a Dell user I had tons of documents and external hard drives. I purchase Paragon www.paragon-software.com which allows you to use both types on both Windows and Mac. It cost me about $20.00! Well worth the cost if you don't want the hassle of having to re format your external drives and change your documents.

Not directly though you can ghost to a larger drive then use windows to move the partition. Slick simple device. I've only had a few drives that were failing have a tough time copying.

Yes. It is an easy process and you can swap and copy files at any point. Keep in mind that the external hard drive is powered by the Verbatim MediaShare so you will definitely not want to be in battery mode, or it will eat the battery up.

Only if you external hard drive has a USB slave connection (the drive acts like a host), if the drive has a compatible, native driver and and user interface to instruct it to copy from the card/reader to the drive. I have not seen an external hard drive yet that can do this. There are standalone hard drive and CD burners with built-in card slots and a LCD screen that can do this.

The easy way is copy and paste. 1 go to your files (pictures videos music etc..) 2 select your file right click on your mouse click copy 3 go to your computer select your new hard drive example (disk D) 4 right click on your mouse select paste 5 done. The other way is select your files and drag in the new hard drive.
