Can it be used to connect a laptop &amp; move files to an external hard drive (or a portable hard drive) which comes with a short usb cord?

I can't image why it wouldn't, if it uses standard full size usb connectors, but I haven't tested that myself

This unit is an internal hard drive and won't fit a laptop. Trying to connect it's if we're a external drive wouldn't work either. Contact the laptop maker for a recommended drive for that unit

this doesn't have it's own network adapter. Unless the USB external drive has a network adapter don't believe that will work. Sorry :(

It does require a USB to USB mini-b cable, which are quite inexpensive, but totally worth it. You may already have one as they go with many devices (hard drives and some phones).

this cable isn't made for direct transfers. and if you are trying to mount a usb drive with it. you most likely need root access and an app called stick mount. then you can mount flash drives and tranfer files that way. other wise hook your individual devices to a computer and do it that way

I replaced my Win 7 Lenovo's laptop hard drive with this one and it works fine. However, since the connector on this drive is not an USB type connector I wonder how you managed to get it to work as a USB. In any case, if you already have a primary hard drive with Windows on C, you need I would suspect you need to configure this "additional hard drive as a "slave" drive. Then you can only partition it as a logical drive, i.e. additional partition.

Yes, you can use this device to connect to Ethernet port, then a USB cord with two male ends to connect to your drive.

No. but one way that I've done this is to use an inexpensive external hard drive enclosure. You want to make sure that the one you buy will work with your drive. You just slip your hard drive into the enclosure and attach the usb cable from the enclosure to your computer. The drive will show up on your computer and then you can transfer files.

I haven't used it yet, but it comes with a USB cable which would indicate that it can transfer files to/from the PC.

I don't use it for connect hard drive, but the voltage and ampers maybe working with it,, so there are another solution for connect hardrive. for example SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB Adapter Converter

Yes, you can use this along with USB male to male cable in order to connect to laptops USB.

I believe you could, it's just an adapter but you'll also need a 3.5 mm (both ends male) cord to go from the laptop to the adapter.

Yes, just use the standard usb cable to connect to a laptop or to an external battery.

I have an external USB hard drive connected and it works fine. You can even play back files from the USB drive. I have a 1 TB external drive.

None. You can buy an external USB drive or share a drive from another computer. We use our portable for that purpose.

Can't say for sure, I do use mine with a portable drive, but a different brand name though. I would think the cords are pretty standard on all portable drives, I would think maybe it would but I could not guarantee it.

The quickest way to transfer files would be through a USB memory stick - or USB hard drive
