Not to use as the main storage disk. You'll have to use a HDD with SATA hook ups.

No.The cost of a 1TB drive is so low there is no need. With a 1TB drive you get weeks of high quality video before you can have it set to overwrite. From the web interface you can copy any important video captures to the hard drive of a remote PC.

External hard drive is only use for backup, but you need to purchase a internal hard drive to install to record, only with a internal hard drive inside you can only use external hard drive to backup, thanks.

The unit does have USB thus It may work to hook up an external drive, but USB 2.0 might be too slow. There is a SATA conection inside the unit for internal drives. I would recomend you call ZModo. They were excellent in resolving my questions when I ordered mine, -- mine arrived looking slightly different, but internally the unit was actually a newer varient. ZModo support was able to tell me how to tell the difference between moldels and and also assisit with various features. There presales people were great. Hardware is a bit generic, the menu's are functional but not enterprise level. The Unit does work well.. Included Camera's are decent (but not fantastic) price was right, and overall I was satisfied with the transaction. Give Zmodo a call (800 number should be on their webpage). Good luck.

Unfortunately, no. I returned my Seagate drive with out even taking it out of the anti-static wrapper. Seagate quality has been suspect as of late and I didnt want to chance my data being lost.

Absolutely. Like most products, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can also upgrade the Seagate to Firewire 8.0 or Thunderbolt with available connectors.

This is just a hardware connector to plug your HDD to a USB port. So whatever else you want to do with the contents of the drive will have to be software driven.

I believe so, there is an USB 2.0 port in the back. Note: I only use the STAK100 for my two Seagate 1.5TB 2.5 portable drives. I use an Seagate FreeAgent Home 1TB to connect my 1.5TB FreeAgent Goflex Desk or any brand of USB storage device, even and usb powered hub to add more drives.

I have a 1TB portable Seagate Backup Plus. It works fine plugged directly into the OTG.

1) Try a different AC connector/cord. You probably do not have one but if you bring you Seagate into a Radio Shack, they probably will let you try a compatible connector/cord for the possible sale.2) Go to Seagate support (www.seagate.com/support/ý)

You can hook up the drive but you might need a recovery program - I suggest "icare" - good program.

I am not an expert on this. Please call Seagate tech support 1.800.SEAGATE (1.800.732.4283)

I am not sure if that would work. But you could go out on the Seagate Web Site and ask that question of their technical department and they should be able to answer it.

well I believe if you hook a USB 2.0 cable onto the USB 3.0 cable that goes to the drive itself, that you can get it to hook up to a usb 2.0 port, however I think you may need drivers and possibly proper hardware to support the device itself as it is a USB 3.0 device for the most part.

Yes. If your drive has a power connector, you plug it in there, either directly or with the supplied adapter. There are 3 photos that show the complete setup clearly for different drive types, with instructions for each.

That would depend on the type of USB on the hard drive. Most of my USB 2.0 seagate drives uses mini USB, not mini USB.

Only if your external HDD has a Display Port connection. This is similar to, but not the same, a HDMI connection.

This can only if the harddrive itself didn't die. It comes with cables so you do not have to buy any cables. So if you think your Sata cables or something elese went wrong this may be an opition. I used this because my old external harddrive pcb board died but the HDD was fine so I got this put it in and it was good to go. It is the cheapest option I hope it works but if it doesn't then your HDD died.

This is meant to make it work like and external drive, it does work. Make sure you call Seagate to be sure you have what I have, and it works with yours: call (1.800.732.4283) this is a US number.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?
