Yes. And then some. For a overly thorough review and specifications, see: http://www.pocketables.net/2007/04/review_iriver_c.html

You can to some degree use the device like other USB drives. You can move date in/out as you would any external drive by saving or transferring. Some of the device space is normally used for data backup so that amout of allocated space would not be useful for storage, but otherwise it's just another drive. It's purpose of course was to use as a backup which I do every night so as not to loose valuable up to date data and information.

Sure, you can use an external enclosure and use it as a backup drive. Just remember that it's a 2.5 inch drive (like in laptops), not a regular 3.5 inch (like in a pc).Cheers

Yes you should be able to move USB Thumb drive data to SD Card with the device

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

I don't know - I have never tried but most formats you can download the software to read the files. The laptop has 4 USB ports - I have owned 4 of these laptops and think they are great - very rugged.

To the best of my knowledge, no. I believe the USB ports are only for interfacing with storage devices like external hard drives and flash drives.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

I don't think so. Unless you could figure out a way to network a USB device but at that point you're better off buying a product meant to be a NAS. FYI, my unit failed after 1 month. Don't buy this product.

The simple answer is: No. The USB ports are for moving data from the Network Drive to a flash drive (or vice versa).

Indeed, this device mounts as an external drive. I use it with Lightroom and store all of my pictures on it. I also recommend backing it up regularly.

Yes as long as they were independently formatted and were previously accessible. I've done this. I had 4 usb enclosures. I pulled out the HDDs and placed them all into this enclosure, and it works on USB.

you're wrong this device is used to connect an internal hard drive as an external hard drive via usb, but in my case it did not work.

No, I purchased this unit for that purpose and it didn't work. I could see and read files from the USB drive but could not save files to the drive. The problem seemed to be that it was so slow the write failed due to time out, not permissions.

i don't think so. i think the usb port is only for expanding storage volume.

I don't see why not. I agree with Patrick - it's just like a giant flash drive and doesn't depend on an operating system.
