great question. It holds all types of files. If you wanna transfer files it will do it. If you want it to directly record from the security to the WD I am not certain. WD has a great customer service 24/7 that will answer your question and tell you if there is a specific way to do it. WD is the best device. I have had zero trouble out of WD, and I have 5 of them, and everyone I know has WD. Folks that use other brands fail at times and are 2nd or 3rd rate. hope you can use it for your purpose.

I have a 500 gb seagate usb hdd connected to my ezo device and it works great!! However, I found out that it is limited to 1 tara byte usb drives and I haven't even tried any usb dvd or blu-ray burners yet! To see if they will work, but not sure if there is any dvd or blu-ray software for the android os!!

Im not familiar with PS4 system, but it works just like any other flash drive. May need to be formatted with PS4.

No, I purchased this unit for that purpose and it didn't work. I could see and read files from the USB drive but could not save files to the drive. The problem seemed to be that it was so slow the write failed due to time out, not permissions.

It depends on the size of the file. These flash drives are garbage. They are only like 8gb. After that it will start to overwright all your files and you will loose everything. False advertising at its finest!

Yes from what I understand, it should. I use my usb flash drive and it works perfect.

i have a 30gig drive i would think if you have 500mb left on your drive you need to put some pics and songs or movies on a flash drive. the program puts it on the hard drive to compile it and then burns it to a dvd. i use 3 flash drive to store pics and movies. keeps the hard drive free.

I do not think so, but it might work if the 500gb drive had its own power supply. I am only guessing.

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.

I am not sure of a 500GB as I don't have one that size to test, but I have used an old 40GB IDE WD drive and it worked fine.

I use a thumb drive I'm on my western digital units. The largest one I used was a 64 gig and it use it with no problem.

Absolutely. This device will connect to only one hard drive at a time. So you will have to move files from one drive at a time.

No, it has been some time, this device did not do what I wanted it to do. Be able to connect a solid state drive as a a external hard drive.

Yes, it works like a regular USB drive. So recorded files can be deleted like regular files to free up space.

NO. It doesn't do anything to the existing drive. It only images (copies) the contents of the old drive to a new drive (that you have to purchase seperately). Zvika
