Will this cable allow me to transfer data from my computer to my Seagate external without having to use the wireless connection option?

The cable connects your computer directly to the seagate external disk via the USB port.

Nope! All you have to do is plug in the wireless jump drive & it connects. (If you have an old system that doesn't auto connect, then you might need to download software.)

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/

I used this cable to connect my HP printer to a new CPU that did not have the old screw in connection. Once you hook up the printer to the CPU the wireless connection is a separate issue. Hopes this helps.

no. you have to connect it to the router directly via an ethernet cable. you can then connect to any drives connected to it though via your network, including wireless connections if your computer youre trying to access the drives from and your router has wifi capabilitiesthe box itself though is not wirelessanother warning, this device does NOT support drives over 2tb in size and the usb ports on it are usb2.0 not usb3.0

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.

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never tried it. It might be a proprietary adapter, and only work with the Seagate product.

I have an older Seagate External HD (1.5TB) and a few 3TB Western Digital HD. I have them hooked to my Window 7 desktop through the Anker USB 3.0 hub; so far I have no issues. When not accessing data on my external HD, the disks do spin down gracefully and go to "sleep"...so far I have not had any issues with this device...hope this helps...

Not necessary. All you have to do is be able to load the disk to your computer(that has WiFi) and plug in ANTENNA to any usb port. Wala! its working. That easy...

Assuming that you mean by 'non-wireless computer connection' you have an ethernet cable going to your computer, then yes. If this is a business computer you may want to find out if they want a wireless connection attached to their network.

You are correct on your question. I don't use the power cable for my external hard drive

this doesn't have it's own network adapter. Unless the USB external drive has a network adapter don't believe that will work. Sorry :(

No, one cable transfer data but the other one is only for extra power, is a cable recomended for external units

Absolutely. That's the exact reason I bought this cable and I use it with an "old" portable hard drive that is micro USB powered (My Passport 500GB from 2010). I've had it connected for at least a year and it works like a charm. I hope this helps!

No. but one way that I've done this is to use an inexpensive external hard drive enclosure. You want to make sure that the one you buy will work with your drive. You just slip your hard drive into the enclosure and attach the usb cable from the enclosure to your computer. The drive will show up on your computer and then you can transfer files.

I have it connected to a WD external 1TB hard drive, and then usb port to laptop. Good solid connection.

I know that it will work on a Seagate External. I recently had to take mine out of its case and had to use this tool to hook directly into the hard drive.
