Can I attach an external USB drive or Hard-drive to it and access from files from USB drive on Ipad on Wifi like Seagate GoFlex Satellite Storage?

NOT with the current factory firmware (V2 121017). You could "system tools, firmware upgrade" it with third-party "open source" router firmware to do so (enabling USB storage), but changing to non-TP-Link firmware "voids" TP-Link's express-written warranty. TP-Link not honoring their warranty in the U.S. (non-TP-Link third-party firmware or not) violates the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975, Public Law 93-637, Title 15 United States Code paragraphs 2301 et. al.

Yes. The Wi-Drive is its own wireless network hub. Many subscriber devices - smart phones, tablets, computers - can access the Wi-Drive and its files with the password that you select. Its great for by-passing Apple's system lockdown and iTunes to get media files on and off your iPad and to enjoy movies, etc., from non-iTunes sources.

My Koolertron did not connect to my ipad for any purpose, so no, it would not connect to an external hard drive.

Yes as long as its a simple one. If it has a light in it or is some kind of high end one it won't work. This is because apple builds the iPad to only let out a minimal amount of power. So a USB drive that requires power to run, (normally gets power from the computer it's plugged into) will not work with this Sharkk iPad card reader and you will get a error message telling you it requires too much power

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

Yes. The whole point is to use memory on the flash drive, and not the iPad. You do have to load an app to access the device, but it is small.

Idk about a straight hard drive install. Not sure how you would access the files. I do, however, regularly connect my computer/iPad to the tv thru an HDMI cable. I can watch files on the unit or stream from the internet.

With the "WD Photos" iOS app you can upload to the drive from anywhere. I'm not sure about the PC/Mac capabilities while mobile.

Yes. The SanDisk wireless drive works great for photo back-up from the iPad. That is the primary reason I purchased the device & it has worked very well. When transferring a lot if pictures, it can take a few minutes, but still pretty quick for wireless. I move pictures to the drive, & back to the iPad quite often. It is also very handy for moving pics from my digital cameras onto the ipad for editing using the SD card slot. I use it between my iPad4, iPad2, & iPhone5.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

I don't have a seagate goflex to test that with but I don't see why not. I have connected other external drives to it with out a problem. Even connected a 2 port hard drive docking station to it.

Sorry, I have not tried that. I got this unit to use with my phone but it should be able to handle reading the external drive

I suspect so, it has a USB port although I have not tried it from flash drive. Works great from iPad music

Yes, but you need to buy a Goflex Home Doc or a special cable from Segate ($20) (Model # STAE104). Try this page - http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/accessories/

No. Not directly. This drive has USB 3.0 only. There are other models (pro family) that have USB and eSATA. If you want Network Attached you need to look at their NAS family.Specs for all of their products are located here: http://iosafe.com/products
