Will this device work with Surface pRO 3 and support an external HD?

My understanding of the Surface Pro 3 is that it's being positioned as a legitimate laptop/ultrabook replacement. It's running the conventional x86_64 Windows code, and includes USB 3.0 ports. You have the entire package there to support this powered port. What's especially nice is the 4 amp power supply for this USB port. So, as long as you have 110V power to plug into, you'll have plenty of amperage to power external devices. Might be an issue when you're away from wall sockets.... especially if you're trying to run an external drive off the Surface's USB 3.0 port (and hence the tablet's battery) alone. But if you intend to use it only when wall current is available, (like at home or in a hotel room) no problem. I used it tonight to transfer a large amount of data between two external hard drives on the desktop setup I have (both USB 3.0 drives). It flew!

If your Surface Pro is a replacement for your laptop it should work. Any drivers needed contact manufacturer.

Yes it would work but you should use a USB 3.0 device instead since the Surface Pro 3 supports USB 3.0.You can read about the speed differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 here: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/usb5.htm

Don't see why it would not work. Works fine on my surface Pro 2. Can't go wrong for the price.

I'm not sure about the Surface Pro 3, but it does not work for my Surface Pro 2.

I have heard rumors that Microsoft does not support USB External DVDS for the Surface Pro 3. I do not have one. I have successfully installed a similar model on a Dell tablet/laptop using Win 8.1.

You wont have to worry since this uses USB 3.0, but you have to check on what OS you are using. Surface Pro 3 uses Windows 8/8.1 and from the product page of JUD 500, http://www.j5create.com/our-products/docking-stations/jud500.html they already have support for Windows 8/8.1

I didn't like the Surface because there is no cd drive. I would check out the pro 3 and see if it meets your use.

Microsoft makes a dongle for the surface pro 3 that is better, cheaper and works with your android phones as well! buy it used for $40 on here!

I have a Surface Pro 3 and have not been able to get it to work with it. It doesn't appear to be making proper contact.

I cannot answer your question because I have pro not pro 2. It works fine with surface pro.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work satisfactorily. OS in each case would be Win 8.1. However, I use an Asus Transormer T100, not a Surface Pro 2.

Yes, this USB 3 hub is compatible with windows 8. I use it to extend my one port on my surface pro tablet so I can hook up an external sound card, a pen drive, a mouse, and my iPhone up all at once.

I carry my Samsung tablet in it. I don't know what a surface pro 3 is. Sorry. Lucy

Does the Surface 3 have a standard USB port? Then yes, that's all that's required for this to work. I could plug it into my desktop and it will work just the same.

Microsoft it works with Surface or Surface 2 ..... not with Surface Pro, Pro 2, or Pro 3. I never tried it with any device other than MS.
