Can I use 2 of these converters on one Windows 7 computer (using two separate USB ports) to do a loop back test?

I haven't done it myself, but it should work fine. I have one of these. Once installed, the device appears to Windows 7 as a serial port device. If you install two of them, they will appear as two separate serial ports.You just need to make sure to wire them up appropriately.

I don't see why not, they will show up as two separate com ports so if your wiring and configuration is correct you should be able to perform the test.

I have purchased this product and am using it on a windows seven computer in the USB 2.0 port. It seems to work fine for me.

I assume you're talking about a laptop with a separate video output or a video card with digital and VGA outputs. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That's a much simpler way to run with three monitors than mulitiple USB converters.

it must be USB 2 on both to work. It is not software based. I could never get it to work period.

yes it will work. Might have to format it first but it should work as long as you have both usb wires connected

Yes, I'am transfering a USB hub w/3 high capacity hard drives (2TB), and a wired USB mouse between a WinXP computer and a Win7 computer on this USB share switch. The monitor, PS2 keyboard, and speakers on a KVM switch. Works great!

Though I have not used it for this purpose it should work fine if you are using the Windows 7 back up feature. Also I believe your disk is much larger than 500kb, 500GB possibly? Even at 500GB, unless the drive is completely full, you should be able to create at least two different images on the drive.

No - this hub is backwards compatible with 2.0 and 1.0, but it can only pass data as fast as the slowest USB component. In your case, the 2.0 port on your Win7 tower is the limiting factor.

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.

I wouldn't know. Unfortunately, I received a product that does not work. But, it's my understanding that people are having a 50% success rate with this. Try asking one the people who got the converter to work.

Yes. Any new USB product should work with Windows 7 providing no random errors.

From what I understand the serial number is not specific to any one specific PC. Therefore you should be able to use the unit on multiple PC's.

It should be possible, depending on the OS and how you ID the computers. Bring one of them up. Plug in the cable tothe oter one and plug it in to the first one. Then power on the second one. After it is up you should be able to see the second on the first one through Windows explorer.

thats is true IF u dont have USB3 conector on your motherboard... if u have it, then u can use both USB conectors.

If your box appears as a single drive,maybe. be aware that this adapter will change the format of your drive and although you can still read it, it might not work in your situation. The manual not too clearly states that it doesn't work with USB hubs, and if your drive enclosure treats the two drives in that way, it won't work. Back everything up first, and be prepared to reformat your disks if it doesn't work.

No. I used this device to debug RS485 bus driver software I was writing. RS485 and RS422 are very similar to one another, but quite different from RS232. There are a lot of USB to RS232 converters available; I only use those that use the FTDI chipset as those tend to be very reliable and the OS drivers well behaved.

No, this will not allow you to do that. The secondary USB connection is wired for power only, and in any case what you are describing is not possible with any cable, because USB communication is bidirectional.
