Can you connect an external hard drive via 3.0 USB port and access music, photos etc?

Yes, you can access files on an external hard drive or USB flash drive via the file manager. It also supports an SD card.

You can use something like ES File Explorer to access the files on the external drive but I don't think you will be able to install any apps to it. But if you have your movies and music on the external then that might give you the room you need on the internal.

Yep, you can use the USB connector and treat it like any other external hard drive.

This unit has a USB port which can be used to display your photos/movies, provided they are in a format compatible with the WD player . It won't read any other external storage device such as a hard drive on your PC. If you are watching photos/movies using the USB port, you don't have to be connected to the internet.

I have not personally tried a external hdd, I do know a xbox controller works, a keyboard and a mouse work, make sure the external hdd has its own power source as I tried using speakers and it fried my s3, and small usb flash drives also work,

Yes, it only provides access to the drive via USB.You will need separate software for reading different filesystems (e.g. reading a windows hard drive from Mac / Linux) or any other operations you want to perform on the drive.

Any external USB hard drive can be used via the USB ports, the seagate HD is necessary to for the "convenient" slide in interface (it still leaves both USB ports open)

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.

Depends on what devise you have plugged in. A usb stick should work without the power cable, external drives would not.

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

I think so but I am not sure. I believe you can hook any USB external drive to it.

As far as I know, the answer is no. The USB ports are for connecting mass storage devices such as flash drives and cameras.This includes external hard drives. I did this recently in order to change storage modes from RAID1 to JBOD. I hooked upan external drive, moved all my data off, changed the storage mode, then moved all my data back.

3.0 USB is a newer, faster connection, however, the backup will work fine with 2.0 or 3.0
