Will this device stream from a 2tb usb drive?

I can't confirm a 2tb drive but I have a 1tb Toshiba canvio portable drive that works. I plug it directly into the smartstick and it get's it's power from the stick. Just load up your movies, music, pics and it will detect it automatically.

I am not happy with it and I like to return this Item. It was so slow process or stream.

It only has an hdmi output that plugs into a tv. It has android software so if you can find an android app for it, it will work. I'm assuming you mean a 2tb hard drive or possibly a 2gb USB drive. Either one would need to be connected to the Internet to stream to the device.

Yes. Most important thing is the USB support model (2.0) rather than your operating system.

Bob R.My new router has a usb connection, could that possibly used to connect an external HD for streaming purposes? ( I'm really not sure what it's for)Thanks

You can use the cable that came with the drive (actually, you have to since USB 3.0 has one different end). It will automatically transfer data at 2.0 speeds.

No it cannot by itself. The unit will only stream from your main hard drive inside your computer (usually drive C:). You can stream from an external hard drive connected to your router if you have a media server program that was included with your router's software or with a third party program such as Twonky. However, the formats the player will read are limited and even then it may not read those formats.

Yes. I have a 2TB GoFlex Home Network drive this I converted using this to USB.

Not sure I understand your question. The Pocket Hard Drive establishes a Wi-Fi link to your phone, tablet, etc. At that point, the Drive will stream directly to your device.

It should. I just tested it on my Windows 8.1 machine without issue. If you are having connect/disconnect issues, it may be that the dock doesn't play nicely with your USB chipset. Did you try the eSATA connection (if your computer has an eSATA port)? Or it could be a failing HDD and not an issues with the dock/USB chipset. Any drive 2TB or less should work without issue. Win 8.1 should have no issue addressing HDDs larger than 2TB.

it supports USB drives it should be fine. But you need to make sure your router is compatible with ready share. The list of routers is here http://www.netgear.com.au/readyshare

I have an old 120 GB laptop drive hooked up w USB, works fine. I see in the reviews, people have hooked up 3 and 4 terabyte drives.

I found that only some small capacity usb drives work for this purpose, 2gb or so

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

It should. Hub is a 3.0 and also handles 2.0. Mine is a 1 tb wd. It works great.

It would depend on how large of a USB drive you get. My unit is broke. Just got a replacement and the replacement is DOA.

Hmm.. not sure.. theoretically it should work but I didn't want to chance it. So I took my separate external 2TB drive and connected it and it works perfectly
