I know there is a similar question below, but does anyone know if I can plug in by USB and transfer files like a regular external drive?

There are USB ports on the drive if you choose to use it conventionally like othe external drives

I would avoid all Buffalo products. I purchased an NAS that failed after two years. I have come across others who have encountered poorly manufactured equipment and even worse customer support.

Yes you can except, you need use one that does not require power, some uSB Drives require more power and won't work. U can use the micro sd or the regular SD card, it should work fine.

Yes, most external optical drives are USB driven, it's as simple as plugging it in and downloading any needed software.

Yes you can. That's what I did with my Sony Viao. I purchaced the drive and an external holder with a usb connection ($8 from amazon). I used NTI Echo 3 ($19) to clone the drive. After the coloning process I swapped drives. Took about an hour to do the whole thing. Mostly waiting for the cloning process.

You can also get flash drives with a micro usb port interface. I have one and it works perfectly with this unit.

I just use a usb-attached cheapy. Works great for me (which is rarely). The brand is LG. Portable Super Multi Drive. Had it quite a while, so it may likely be no longer available

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

USB devices are generally backward compatible. The transfer will be slower, though.

If you mean usb drive then no. This device only supports micro SD for external memory.

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.

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.

Yes, it is like a normal drive with 32Gb of storage. It can just connect to a micro-usb port also.

I've never tried to do that. but I don't think so. When plugged in it is listed a mass storage device. Never seen that option before.

Yes you can, there's a small flap where the USB is located, all you have to do is lift it up and plug it in.

No, unfortunately not. An external drive is pretty cheap. I bought one when I bought the computer.

It's not that simple, but yes. Suggest you google this question in your browser: "how to transfer data from one external hard drive to another".
