Will I be able to use it as a mass storage device for a 32mb PCMCIA card? As a external drive of sorts? Thanks

This reader only reads ATA Flash cards. Not very reliable. Problems with Windows 7 and above. If you need something to read SRAM or Linear Flash ... let me know. This is not it.

as far as I can tell you, yes, I have connected the unit to the computer and then the PCMCIA card inserted in the slot and the pc will read the information from an external drive and you can handle all the info as if you were using a USB stick.

I would suggest getting an inexpensive USB to PCMCIA adaptor. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?field-keywords=usb+pcmcia+adapter

This is an internal drive and needs to be installed inside your pc tower. It is not an external drive that can be plugged into a USB port as a back up drive.

I have not tried to boot from a USB flash drive using a PCMCIA USB card. But I have encountered problems with some older computers/laptops refusing to boot when there is a flash drive in the USB slot (no PCMCIA card). And there was no setting in the BIOS to allow booting from USB. It depends on at what point the PCMCIA card becomes active. The only way to tell with the unit that you have is to purchase and try it.L

Yes you Can ... It has a SD card that you can put into your PC or it has a USB Cord that you can just plug into your system . I have a 16gb card in mine however it can hold up to a 32gb card if I remember the instructions right.

Thanks Mr. Brown for your fast Reply!I am going to try to format the Card to exFAT...Do you know if the exFAT could handle large 6 or 12 GB Files?

I am just about 100% certain that you cannot plug this directly into a computer. It's not a mass storage device like any kind of external hard drive. If the three different workstations talk to each other on the network, might as well have them talk to the Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) using the network.

Richard, this card should not be used with either FAT16 (aka FAT) or FAT32, in fact no card over 32GB should be formatted that way unless you are going to partition it as there are limits on partition size not just file size for both of those file systems. Linux will allow you to partition it and format it as FAT32 up to the full space, but that does not mean that Windows and other OSes will be stable using it that way, you could encounter data loss by doing that, so I wouldn't recommend it. The drive would arrive as ExFAT as that's what is being used by SanDisk and a lot of other Flash Media manufacturers for all drives 64GB and larger so that it will work in Cameras and on non-Windows based systems that cannot write to NTFS. This is the reason that Microsoft supports ExFAT for removable media. Please note that without certain updates Windows XP and Windows 2k3 Server do not support ExFAT so you may possibly need to re-format using NTFS if using those systems. ExFAT is a really excellent file system for removable media and is supported by *all* devices and operating systems that can read MicroSDXC cards. This includes Windows Vista and later, Windows Server 2008 and later, Mac OS X 10.7 and later, Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x and later, Windows Phone 8 and later, and most Linux and BSD based systems.

Don't see why not. It's just an external drive. I love mine and I'm using it with my ASUS laptop and my DELL laptop.

I would not buy this card, could not make it work and support is terrible. All most any external Raid will be faster than the Software raid on the motherboard. Plus if the board dies, you just move the card to anything that is working and you have your data back. If you have to move software raid to another MB and it is a different version or drivers, it can be an issue. So find a good card and you will have the best of both worlds. I do have some software raids in my office only to archive data to, not for working data. Hope this helps, Cheers

You'd think so but the 32GB fills up quickly. Plus if you're using it in undocked mode you can't access anything on the 500GB HDD. It all depends on what you use it for.

If you want to use it as an external drive, you can get an enclosure for it. Here's an example of what I mean:http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-2588US3-External-Enclosure-Support/dp/B00FYKRI9M/

I don't see why not. If your PC recognizes the external drive, you should be ok. The only problem will be format. Your text from the word processor will have to be able to be translated into something your PC can read. If you have a problem, I suggest you give the Geek Squad a call. Tell them you just bought an external 3.5 floppy and you need to know how to download onto your PC. They may have a suggestion.

If the machine has a PCMCIA slot, then yes it will work. Not sure what type of files you'll load onto the card, but I am sure 512MB will be quite compatible. I would say anything up to 2GB would be compatible with more machines and operating systems. Once you start getting into 4GB+ and HC (high capacity) cards, then things begin to get a little finicky.

If it's in a desktop PC then you should have a 3.5 inch form factor drive. If that is the case this will work. This is a 3.5 form factor IDE drive.

The max capacity it supports is 4GB microSDHC. Format it as FAT32 filesystem if it didn't come that way.
