Will this transfer data, or is it only for charging?

I haven't used it to charge anything as of yet, but transferring data is perfect. I really like the sleek design.

It is just a charger! I have tried transfering data. The device is not detected at all.

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

I believe the transfer rate really depends on the speed of your USB ports on your computer. I use my GoFlex to back up my computer files. I do not recall it being all that slow. Cheers.

Yes, you will lose the USB 3 transfer rate unfortunately, otherwise its still USB where you can connect several peripherals

The one I ordered didn't work at all. But even if it worked, I don't think it's intended for data transfer. I think it's just a power cord.

To the best of my knowledge, it does not. Just a USB port that powers it and allows data transfers (updates). I will carefully double check, however, next time I drive my car.

yes it can to transfer files only and to charge the battery. When you connect it, it disables the projector element. There is an ipod kit that connects to the usb to display images and movies from the ipod however.

This is used for converting the old Apple 9 pin to micro usb. I use it for my android phone. It doesn't pass data through this port, it only charges the phone.

If you have an Android device this will work for you ...This is just a standard android charger/usb data cable meaning you can connect it to another computer to transfer and share data between the two Peripherals

In theory, yes. But USB 1 is 40 times slower than USB 2 in max throughput. So it will take days to complete the transfer.

No,not that I know. If so your phone or the device that you are transferring to, has to be able to use those files.

I know you can transfer files such and photos,pdf's, and documents. but not sure if you can back other data such as contacts or games. Mine died before I could do extensive testing with it. It no longer recharges.

Yes, that is how I charge mine. It comes with a short USB that you plug into your computer to charge and transfer files.

No, as far as I know you have to use the app to move anything into the drive using it as a stand alone drive. I originally wanted to use it on locations and such but data transfer is slow and the interface is horrendous. I'm sticking to my laptop and cabled drives for the time being.

You have to use the power adapter, USB and eSATA cables are for data transfer only.
