can this item handle multiple external hard disk?

Absolutely! I have 3 connected to mine; it is what I bought them for (I have 2, on separate computers).

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

You sure can. I have mine working with one WD red 3tb hard drive. Will upgrade to another one same capacity once I get this one full.

Yes, but keep this in mind : The only external hard drives I ever got to work with this device are Buffalo- branded ones. I tried WD, Ragate, and Maxtor USB 3.0 and 2.0 drives with no luck at all. However, I had Buffalo - branded drives working on two ports at once.

Yes you can - coming from being a Dell user I had tons of documents and external hard drives. I purchase Paragon www.paragon-software.com which allows you to use both types on both Windows and Mac. It cost me about $20.00! Well worth the cost if you don't want the hassle of having to re format your external drives and change your documents.

I'm able to use this drive as external drive and internal. You need to install the connector based on your application.

Yes. I bought it to do just that, and it worked fine. It worked fine on drives that had one partition and on drives that were partitioned into two logical drives.

Yes, I use it for that. I did use apple disc utility and partitioned mine for 1tb to be used specifically for time machine though. If you need all 4 for just backups it should work. That seems excessive though to me

Should wrk. I only have two drives connected but they work just fine. I also use a external DVD player/recorder and printer. all have no problem working. Good luck.

Yes, two hard drives are accessible at the same time with this device; it works great!

I've only used it as a standalone hard drive copy device, but I believe you can use it as an external hard drive unit too. I'm using Mac OSX

Assuming you have the letters available for the drives and each drive is powered, you could but the transfer speed will be horrible. I don't think I've pushed harder than 5 drives hooked up

Yes. Each backup type (i.e., different drive) requires a different "script" and you can create as many scripts as you want. I backup to one internal drive and two external drives.

I have a sort-of answer ---- I am not using additional drives on this HUB --- but, I am using one 2TB USB drive on another Anker HUB and it works fine. So, I am confident it will work --- I just have not tried it on this HUB. Also, this HUB is powered by the USB port whereas my other one has AC power --- so, that could play a role in how multiple disk drives perform.

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?

This drive burnt out on me, so I'm not able to speak from personal experience about it's ability to store multiple backups. I assume that it can house multiple back-ups as long as there is enough space however I CANNOT recommend it's reliability as a harddrive.
