Does it work with a USB hard drive? The portable 2.5 inch kind that are common?

I have to change my answer from "Audi MMI does not recognize cable or device" to "YES IT Does"! You have to convert the drive to FAT32. I downloaded a free tool that gets past the 32GB size limit. I have a 1TB hard drive and all is well.

Sorry, no. I plugged in an external 1TB hard drive with a single cd on it just to see and it said "Either the cable or device is not recognized by MMI". So I'll just continue to use my iPod or I also have a blue tooth adapter that uses my phone.

Yes from what I understand, it should. I use my usb flash drive and it works perfect.

I tried it with a 3.5 inch hard drive and couldn't get it to work. It uses the USB port to supply power to the hard drive and the sata drive would not start. I tried a different adapter that used power from an AC outlet and that one worked great. I was able to connect to my laptop via USB and get all the data off of the drive. Not sure I am allowed to say which drive that was but I can tell you it cost less too.

Yes & No. For internal you need a 2.5" drive. If you put in an enclosure (like I did) you can attach via firewire or USB and will work just fine.

I use it for iomega slim drive. But technically should work with any portable hard drive, as long as pin fits.

I am not sure if your Portable Ext.Hard Drive is the same size as mine; I used theToshiba Canvio 500 GB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - HDTC605XK3A1. You may be able to determine if your hard drive will fit, based on the information above. I also had enough room inside the Hard Carrying Case to store a couple of other smaller USB plugs. I hope this information will help you with your decision for the case in mention.

Can't say for sure, I do use mine with a portable drive, but a different brand name though. I would think the cords are pretty standard on all portable drives, I would think maybe it would but I could not guarantee it.

I have Seagate 3TB external HD USB 3 and it works with this ok it just takes awhile on reboot or start up for Windows 7 to pick it up.

yeah, i bought this drive and it works perfectly with the laptop. It takes 2 of the 3 usb ports, but is great for loading software onto it.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DUDWXI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I installed mine in my desktop machine and it works great. I liked it so much I purchased another one for my laptop and it works there as well. The only catch is that you laptop has the space, check and see if what is already in there is a 2.5" HD, if so then it should be no problem.

It does, it's a mini and its hidden behind a little door located on the bottom right of the radio. I bought an adaptor for it and I'm now able to use a regular USB drive. Hope this helped

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

This is what I want to know too. I think this doesn't have a hard drive otherwise they would list the size of the drive in the specs. One reviewer said he connected it to a portable hard drive. Seems kind of useless if it doesn't have it's own hard drive.

I used my 2gb flash drive and it work fine.. This thing come with 1 extra cable that u plug to the side of it to connect usb flash drive

It uses a mini USB. I know its not common in things other than portable USB hard drives and hubs, but a cable is included in the box and replacements can be had for cheap.

It uses a USB 3 cable that comes w/ the drive. I attach it to the USB 2 port in my laptop and runs well. However I am uncertain if the port to the drive itself is proprietary. I have not tried it on other portable drive. In any event, the cable comes w/ the drive.

Yes. It does work with 3.5" SATA drives. This is the only SATA to USB converter that I found to be compatible with 3.5" hard drive because it's got an extra USB for the extra Power to run the bigger hard drives.

It doesn't come with a HDD and you can pop in any size, I don't think size matters. There's also an usb port, I haven't tried using an external HDD though.
