Is there a 'read-only' function on this device?

Yes once its connected to your Drive and your computer you can use it like a external drive. Read Write. They don't recommend you use it for long periods or permanent in that instance, But it works great with IDE, SATA 3.5 and 2.5 drives well worth the money.

there is no slide switch to place the unit in read only; I use this for forensic recovery of data from hard drives. Copy the source drive to back up, place original in evidence safe. Work from the back up. Never attempt to write to source drive, you can, but not recommended

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.

Do you know if there is a way to know the version without opening the tablet?

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

Sounds like your SD Card is set to read only. Slide the tab to the read/write position.

yes there is a temperature display on the outside that can be read without opening the case. It can be turned off when not in use to save the battery.

No, you would have to control functions on the device you are using, like the computer or disk player.

I plug it in to read codes. I guess it could be left plugged in but I'm not sure.

Not directly. you can scan it to a computer and then copy it into the online version, but it isn't a quick process. Actually the power switch just failed on my device and it is now useless.

As soon as you turn the device on, it has a live continuous readout. There is another button on the right side that determines the highest peak and the lowest. Hope that helps :)

Assuming that your hard drive is not damaged, yes. You will connect this item to your computer via a USB port and be able to read it just like any other external storage device.

Conflicting reports on that at the moment. I tend to side with the various reports that say there is one beneath the menu text in the bezel. If that turns out to be incorrect then you can simply and cheaply add an external USB card reader

Sorry...can't help with the question. I got it for a friend and he has only used it as a reader.

Not really. There are addon devices that allow for this. But this is primarily for at the desk answering. But for the money this is a very good device. This is my second. The first one lasted about 9 years.

It does have a hold function button in any mode, but it is a manual mode. So it wont catch the high or low reading on its own and hold it. You have to manually push the button when you want it to hold the reading.

Unfortunately no you can't choose between the funtions. when you turn it on/off it always apply to both functions simultaneously .

Hello Wendy. I hope my answer helps. I bought this type and never was able to get this function. I waited to long to get back with the seller so I lost out. I would not buy this type of unit.

This player is designed to read most files contained in your hard drive. It is not a storage device in itself.
