Can it be used to connect a laptop & 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

Agree with the previous answer. As an FYI, the USB cord is strictly for transferring files from the recorder to a computer/laptop.

I would guess it depends on how much room there is between your USB ports. I can plug this flash drive in next to my dongle, I have a Toshiba laptop.

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

Short answer - don't know. There is nothing in the documentation to indicate you can. The USB port seems to be only for extending the drive space. I would say it is not intended to be connected to a computer via USB connection. Mine is connected via the wireless network and it works fine.

Probably won't be able to. As others have said you can try searching online and loading onto a USB device or simply installing directly from the web if that's possible. There are several inexpensive external DVD / CD-Roms out there that will do the job nicely. And the good news is the external drive can be used on other PCs/laptops.

I use the cable to transfer files between a PC and an external Hard drive As long as you have a usb connection on each device it should work.

No, it comes with a USB cable also that will allow you yo connect it to a USB connection and use it as a regular external HD.

No, it is basically a plug-in replacement for a laptop drive. If you need a cable, you will have to buy one.

Agree with previous two answers. However, if you want to move data to an external drive, yes.

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.
