Yes, it will work for any USB device. I've read that if you are using more than 1 device connected to your hub at the same time, that your transfer speed may slow a little but I don't know if that is true or not. So far it's been a great hub and has been working perfectly.

Most definitely. I have three MYBOOKs connected to my Mac via the Anker hub. But note that the hub needs to be powered.

I don't know about WD. It works with a SeaGate external desktop HD that I use for my Time Machine backup.

I can't confirm that it will work with the Mac version of the WD My Book, but it DOES work with the non-Mac WD My Book. I have it hooked up to a 1 TB WD My Book.

From WD FAQ: We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure. With the exception of Thunderbolt, eSATA and USB 3.0 external hard drives, USB 2.0 and Firewire 400/800 have yet to approach the transfer rates of the internal hard drives we use in our external enclosures

You can download the driver here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=123&sid=127&lang=en Apparently this card was also bundled with the WD MyBook 3.0. The linked driver is the one I used, and it works perfectly.

I have not tied that specific drive but used Western Digital 500 gb, Acomdata 120 gb and some USB thumb drives. Everything worked fine. I think as long as the hard drive can be connected via USB 2.0 it should work.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

It works with go flex drives but I have not tried it with a desktop drive.. I also use bare SSD drives quite effectively.

No it won't work with a USB hard drive I tried it and it didn't work I think the external hard drive requires more power than the tablet can provide

Mine worked with windows. Second time a back up external hard drive no good with Carbonite Mirror complete computer back up. A big 3T external hard drive and this much small but super fast LaCle Porche design external hard drive. The hard drive worked great. The mirror program sucks. The regular carbonite backup works great. Will not subscribe again for the Mirror complete computer back up.

Hi David, I'm afraid I can't answer this question because my two WD My Book 3 TB drives are connected to my iMac by a USB 3.0 connection. Hope someone else can help you.

I've never tried to use an external USB drive but I doubt it will power it. As for folders, it will display the

Yes it does. I'm using WD Black 4TB drives in mine, and it has worked flawlessly since I set it up three months ago.
