Can Multiple computers connect to this hard drive at once?

I am not sure, but it does have 2 firewire connections. I have one connected to my computer, and the other connected to an audio interface. It works well for that.

I love this drive. I'm about to get another. Yes, it can be connected via USB to your wireless network and accessed by multiple computers that way. Hopefully that answers your question.

No, this will not do what you need. If you want to connect a hard drive to your network without using a computer, you will need a device called a NAS, or "Network Attached Storage" - it's basically an external case that connects via ethernet instead of USB.

There are enough connections for that. I have it hooked up to 8 Hard drives 4 SSD's 2 Video cards and 1 DVD drive.

You can link two hard drives together via a "KVM" switch. That way, you have the best of both worlds... two computers! The KVM switch allows you to switch back and forth to each computer. The switch also accommodates your mouse/keyboard and wireless Internet.

you may have up to 5 users on 2 separate computers for a total of 10. Hope that helps.

I don't know how many can connect at the same time. I seen about 4 connecting. I have 12 set up.

Yes you can as long as none of the drives has an operating system on them. You do not need to format or do anything to your drives. You will need a port multiplier card for eSata in order to see all 4 drives, but after that you're good to go.

It appears that it will take up to 3 hard drives, as in the shopping options you can specify this many. (Source: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/cto.do)

You sure can. I have mine working with one WD red 3tb hard drive. Will upgrade to another one same capacity once I get this one full.

I am just about 100% certain that you cannot plug this directly into a computer. It's not a mass storage device like any kind of external hard drive. If the three different workstations talk to each other on the network, might as well have them talk to the Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) using the network.

You can hook the network cable into the 10/100 port on your computer and it acts as a separate network connection. If the second drive is USB, there is a connection on the duo for another expansion USB drive. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.

The computer has two usb ports that can be used to connect an external hard drive

Yes you can, once you have wirelessly connected your computer to the Verbatim MediaShare. However, this begs the question why you would want to do this as you'd be restricted to wireless and USB2 speeds, whereas direct connection of the hard drive to the computer would potentially give you USB3 speeds. Of course, if you wanted to share the device across multiple computers it could be used as a wireless network-attached storage (NAS) system.

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but I use my hard drive on three different computers to transfer data. It doesn't need specific software or to be programmed to a specific system.

Really, he can not for example make you able to connect 10Hds at once. But it is a very cool product for those who have multiple devices as I want and still call each type HDs more. But if you really are looking to have the energy needed to connect more hard drives will not. Perhaps due to this reason you cited.

Not sure what you are asking. Once the two PCs are connected it is like copying from one folder to another. You can copy as much and for as long as you want. You can change to different folders on each PC for additional copying.
