I am not sure. I cannot get it to work with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. I bought it because I thought I could plug in a normal size usb storage device.

using it on my galaxy S3, I was able to connect to my Hitachi external drive(powered), it does not connect to my usb harddrives that are not powered.

It would depend on a number of factors. e.g. the format of the movie file, blue ray, mp4, oog, etc. It would also depend on the particular app. Does it support the files format? Or does it allow you to read from an external hard drive? I've plugged in a thumb drive into the unit being sold, and have been able to read/move files to and from the tablet. I've also been able to view some videos from the thumb drive. But I cannot say it would work for you for sure. It did for me.

Have you tried formatting the card to exFAT and see if it works with your tablet?

Yes it does which is the reason I bought this model. That said, I can't get the USB to recognize my external USB hard drive or android tablet.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port.

It should, and btw, the dock is awesome. If u get a good power source, as in plug it up to the wall it will support an external hdd with ease

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.

Yes, the External Drive comes with the cable that connects your harddrive to any device that supports Fat32 format and also a carry pouch is included.I Hope that this helped you! Happy Holydays

If you plan to use an external drive a 2.5inch drive will work with no additional power supply. A larger 3.5inch will require an additional power supply. Also unless you have a male micro USB to micro/mini USB you will need a otc to connect to the tablet as the tablet had only one micro USB port.

There is no microSD slot on this tablet. Considering it's intended use, I would not consider this a drawback since the internal SSD is fairly sizable already. If you feel the need for extra storage, you'll probably going to want to go with an external hard drive.

yes if the tablet or whatever it is that you are trying to "read" on, has the software that supports the data on the drive.

I have not personally tried a external hdd, I do know a xbox controller works, a keyboard and a mouse work, make sure the external hdd has its own power source as I tried using speakers and it fried my s3, and small usb flash drives also work,

Kind of a vague question. What kind of tablet do you have? If the tablet can have a USB plugged into it, then I would just get a thumb drive if you are just transferring pictures and videos. It all depends on which tablet.

Enable by checking USB connection troubleshooting in the tablet settings. The other ways to transfer data is by using the tablet Bluetooth or putting files on a memory card or flash-drive and copying them to your tablet. I find that saving my files to "Google Drive" is the easiest way to access them from any device, whether it be music, Pdf, images, or most files. "Dropbox or other clouds work the same, but Google Drive is the best choice in my opinion.

That was my original intent but was not good for that. I got the USB and SD card adapter for my Samsung tablet and phone (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VBCSVI/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it worked beautifully. My tablet did not have a USB port so I had to use the adapter to make the power plug into a USB port. For an external hard drive, as long as you have a USB port on your iPad you should be fine with the female-to-female adapter as shown here, if not you will need a USB adapter. Hope this helps.

You should be able to plug an external hard drive into the dock and the windows operating system will recognize it. Software is embedded in the hard drive so yes it should work, size shouldn't matter. You should also be able to connect a usb printer also as long as the tablet can find drivers.
