Can you play games directly from the external hard drive with this cord?

As far as I understand it, the hard drive, once formatted with the third party cable, ONLY works if the cable is plugged into the system and the hard drive (which should now be 32 GB) is linked with the cable and NOT where the hard drive originally should be. This is due to the hard drive now being read as an external storage device. If you have a first party cable, then once you have moved your data, the cable has done its job and is no longer necessary. It all comes down to if you have a cable straight from Microsoft or one from another company. I hope this helps. =-)

It's not possible to play directly through external HDD. You can play music only through flash memory card(sold separately)

I don't know. This is beyond my expertise. I am using from an pad to my computer or my monitor. Haven't tried a hard drive. Seems as though you need an external power supply for the HD. It then might work.

Just to let everyone know this is not a certified may Microsoft HDD so it will not let you play original Xbox games with it. You will need a certified Microsoft HDD.

Yes, you can connect an external hard drive using one of two USB 2.0 ports (front or rear), and can then watch movies stored on the connected drive in any of the supported formats. If your external drive requires more power than one USB port can provide you may need to consider an externally powered drive like the WD MyBook or similar.

If the disk is powered by USB only, then it should work (the max disk capacity that I've connected was a 250gb seagate external hdd). If the hard drive has a separate plug for power like an AC adapter, you should be fine because all the nexus would be doing is accessing the files intead of powering the drive. According to research, USB devices connected via OTG cables like this one should be plug-and-play so it should work because nothing I've read so far addressed anything about power limitations.

Short answer no. You have to copy your file to the hdd and when you want to play it you have to copy it back to the ps3.

The one with the external HD? No. This is exclusively for the later Xbox 360 model.

Sorry, I have not tried that. I got this unit to use with my phone but it should be able to handle reading the external drive

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

Each USB output port can easily handle a USB 3 current load ( which is Greater than USB2 Current load.If your External Drive strictly operates from the USB3( or USB2) data cable that also carries power, it should be able to deliver and operate it. No harm will be done try it. ( Note many External large hard drives also require a separate external DC power connection. Check and refer to your Hard drive manual for it's specification and connections. Good Luck.BobNaz

Yes, but you need to buy a Goflex Home Doc or a special cable from Segate ($20) (Model # STAE104). Try this page - http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/accessories/

If it's SATA to SATA yes. You need to do a Google search to find out what the specs are on your ps4. Here's a starting point http://www.idganswers.com/question/10898/can-i-add-an-external-hard-drive-to-a-ps4

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.
