Will this work to connect my external hard drive to my tablet? (Using an OTG cable and the powered hub to power the ext hd?)

Don't know why it wouldn't. If ext HD has option for AC power, it certainly will. Well worth a try.

I just connected my LG tablet to the Rosewell and connected the WD external HD and I can not find the HD on the tablet. I am looking in the settings under devices and the external HD is not there. I am not an expert with Adroid tablets so I could be missing something. Sorry I could not help. There might be an app that will connect the tablet with the external HD.

I use this from my laptop to my camera on a tripod, outside. I'm getting live video feed from the camera and can control the camera from the laptop. (Canon EOS t2i) It works fine for that. I use no external power source with it. Being your Ext HD is otherwise powered, I would expect it to work just fine for that.

I hooked up my tablet to the TV via this cable and are able to view my photos on the big screen. Also, I had downloaded some movies and they play as well. The tablet has a HDMI mini plug and this cable hooks up to it. As to the external power, I guess that depends on how long you use it.

I don't think this hub is built to deliver that kind of power. All my external USB hard drives are separately plugged into the A/C. At minimum, your drive would probably have to be plugged into multiple USB ports.

It all kind of depends. It will work with an external being powered by the device but I would recommend connecting the charger. From what I know you might have difficulty with speed due to the larger storage capacity but it should connect with no issue.

I have a Toshiba 1TB and no external power added in the USB port. Yes it works.But I would suggest an external power supply for the Hard Drive. This Device is a dreamwith all its different function. Its does all that stuff it claims... Charges Device (Phones and such)...its own wifi hot spot and wifi extender... Media Player thur USB flash and SD card... Excellent Buy... I have 3 of them

I don't have that hard drive but my HD doesn't work with the hub so I suspect yours probably will not work either. The HD is one of the few things that doesn't work.

Can't tell from your question. Are you asking about the actual female connector in your tablet and hard drive or the cord itself. The earlier answers are assuming your devices have the 3.0 connection holes. If so, YES. If the cord is 3.0, but the devices have the 2.0 holes, NO.If your tablet or hard drive has the 2.0 hole, the male end of the 3.0 cord is too large/wide (see the picture of each). However, the reverse is true; you can plug a 2.0 USB male end into a 3.0 female socket.

This is a 9volt DC power supply, rated at 1.5 amps. As long as know that the power requirements of the external hard drive are less than 1.5 amps, it should work. You have to match the plug and polarity to use it. This is very important. Incidentally cable is 5 foot long.

I tried to plug in an external 320GB hard drive and it didn't work at all. The enclosure had its own power supply and I have plugged it into other USB Hubs before, but this one didn't even recognize it. don't know if it was defective or a limitation of the design, but I am returning it considering that I bought this Hub to swap multiple external hard drives and thumb drives. Hope this helps.

You will need to supply the hard drive with its own power source since the Micro-USB port on the tablet cannot do it alone. You can find decent enclosure kits online.

I would expect it to work with the item. Provided you get the correct usb-to-Mini-usb adapter. There are 2 available. One says USB to Micro USB adapter/coupler and the other will say USB to Mini USB. My tablet used the smaller one and the item has the standard USB plug. I bought the item(s) shown below and both worked perfectly.

it will for power and/ot charging ( if tablet mini usb supports charging). It will NOT work for data/usblink.

I would think so. It should be like a standard usb2.0 port. I've used it on my galaxy phone and my Asus T100 transformer to connect a card reader and an external 1TB HDD that was powered through the USB port itself. (2.5" HDD with no external power)

It should work. I have used the cable both as an extension for an external HDD enclosure and for charging my tablets/phones, with no issues.

This external HD comes with its own power plug, and it has only 2 inputs. One for the USB cable and the other for the Power cord. I am guessing it will only work with the power plug it came with.

The micro USB port is for powering/charging. If you plug in an external hard drive (I tried this with a friend's) it won't work unless you have one that's at least the 2.1 amp variety (a tablet usually requires at least 2.1 amps to charge). In this case, you may think it's not working but most of the current is powering the external hard drive so there isn't enough to actually charge your phone. I found that I had to plug the charger to the device 1st, then the device to the phone to get it to power/charge.
