Can you use this as a replacement drive in a Kaleidescape system?

Which system are you asking about specifically? Model and/or description please.

Yes, so long as the cloning software you are using supports USB 2.0/3.0 or eSata attached drives.

Not sure why you would want to do it that way. With mirrored drives you already have drive redundancy. If a drive goes bad, pull it out and put in the new drive. There are better ways to provide for offsite backup than to keep pulling a drive and having the raid rebuild itself.

Typical you would want a Western Digital purple drive. You can try this drive. It should work tho.

No. You have to replace the drive with a tray that holds the second hard drive.

I've never used it for that, but according to the User Manual, it should work. I use it for storing digital imagery when on trips. If you don't have it, download the User Manual in PDF format here: http://media.kingston.com/support/downloads/WiDrive_KF_UserManual.pdf

Yes, I have used it that way several times. Just plug it in and the tablet will recognize it as another drive.

If this is the case, what happens if the original drive fails? Can you just replace that drive or do you have to reinstall everything?

I don't see why it shouldn't work, but I have to warn you, the longevity and durability of this drive is horrible. Mine became a paperweight--the lights would turn on, and I could hear the platter spinning, but nothing would happen after that--after about 8 months with very light (manual backups only) use. The problem is their drive interface. I had to break open the case and was then able to salvage the actual hard drive--I think it was a Seagate--and put it in another enclosure, but since Buffalo uses a proprietary format, the drive was unreadable in a standard SATA enclosure, so I had to reformat it--all data lost. While it worked it was wicked fast, but it didn't last long, and I lost all my backup data. I don't recommend you buy it even though CNET loves it (that's where I learned about it).

Yes; I have extracted a number of laptop drives from dead laptops and used in this manner. Any drive enclosure made for appropriate drive type will work.

Yes, you can use this as a replacement. You'll still need to sync it with your main unit though (see instructions inside the box)

No, just make sure that you remove the adapter on the existing drive to use with this one.

Yes you can. However, it might not if you format the thumb drive to a different format. e.g. FAT32 versus NTFS or whatever?

Yes you should be able to do this using something like Clonezilla or Accronis I believe. However, if you are cloning your main drive to the external, you will not be able to use it during that time of course.

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

You can hook up the drive but you might need a recovery program - I suggest "icare" - good program.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.
