Can computer wifi connect to internet AND hard drive at the same time? Is there "pass through" or can you only wifi connect to one or the other?

One or the other... this does have a USB cable that will allow you to attach it directly to your computer for access, in which case you have access to internet through wifi and hardrive through USB, but I don't believe there is a work around to do both at this time... :)

Yes all you have to do is go into the software and connect to your wireless SSD and then you have internet and hard drive access .

I am assuming your WIFI is plugged into a USB port, if so you need another USB port for the hard drive. If you are lacking USB ports a hub is easy, it is pass thru and they are usually under $20 for 6-8 ports.

It's not wireless, it has a wired Gigabit network card. I'm sure you can use all the different sized drives but you probably can't make them part of a drive array. Are you looking for a server or a way to share your hard drives? Windows server software (or Linux for that case) can share drives and folders but it takes some knowledge of the operating system.

The drive app will see the folders; how it interacts w/ your ethernet question is unknown. It should work, but ... connectivity is diceySorry I cannot be more specifici

This drive is not intended for USB connection. It connects to a router via an Ethernet port. It has a USB port for connecting a USB memory.

I do not think you can connect them at the same exact time. I have mine hooked up to a power supply from a computer and that way I can access it as a extra drive when I need it. It has a 500 gig hard drive and that is nice not to have the computer ways spinning the extra platters. steve

No, this is not a network drive. You can use one interface with one computer at a time, thank you

In one word- yes. You can do it by either connecting a cable or using the FileHub's own wifi signal.

This doesnt connect directly to your computer, you access it over the network through its own interface, or a mapped network drive. It shouldnt matter what OS you are using. We use everything from XP, Vista, 7, 8 & Macs to access this without any issues.

Probably not easily... I hesitate to say that anything is not doable these days, but the Plugable needs a fair bit of power and a software driver. If you want to share your hard drive over the local network, look into plugging your hard drive into your router. If you want a mobile solution, look for a wireless-enabled hard drive made for that purpose.

It does provide Wi-Fi, but to stream only from your Hard Drive/Flash Drive. So you cannot use that Wi-Fi to surf the Web or do anything else. That is only when you have a Ethernet Cable plugged into the device.

Yes, you can use it as a wifi router only - the internal hard drive is optional. You won't be sorry with the speed of this - it's excellent!!

It is a network storage device. Windows should be able to see it over the network, and you should be able to map a drive to it.

I think you can only connect one computer directly. But if you connect it to USB of a router you can share it across a network.

There is something called the bridge mode (on page 11) of the "Kingston Wifi Drive, 32GBP, Manual". It describes bridge mode, and indicates how to use it to open internet, and WiFi ops simultaneously. Check it out, download the manual at the Kingston web site.

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.

The wifi works well. Adding an external drive should not be a problem either.
