Will it allow me to hook up a external hard drive to my i pad?

That was my original intent but was not good for that. I got the USB and SD card adapter for my Samsung tablet and phone (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VBCSVI/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it worked beautifully. My tablet did not have a USB port so I had to use the adapter to make the power plug into a USB port. For an external hard drive, as long as you have a USB port on your iPad you should be fine with the female-to-female adapter as shown here, if not you will need a USB adapter. Hope this helps.

Yes it connects easily to external USB HDDs. The limit is 2TB, have a 3TB and had to partition it into 1TB and 2TB partitions to use it. It is a great little Android box. Turned my "dumb" 50" flat screen into a "Smart TV" at a fraction of the cost and far more powerful & scale able than any Smart TV currently on the market. I was really surprised how small the device itself is. Finding the right wireless keypad has been the challenge.

Each USB output port can easily handle a USB 3 current load ( which is Greater than USB2 Current load. If your External Drive strictly operates from the USB3( or USB2) data cable that also carries power, it should be able to deliver and operate it. No harm will be done try it. ( Note many External large hard drives also require a separate external DC power connection. Check and refer to your Hard drive manual for it's specification and connections. Good Luck. BobNaz

You will need additional software in order to do that. With this unit out of the box when connected to your computer via USB 3.0 you can access hard drives in the dock just as you would external hard disk drives.

Yes, this item will allow internal drives to dock into it and be used as USB externals.

I don't know. This is beyond my expertise. I am using from an pad to my computer or my monitor. Haven't tried a hard drive. Seems as though you need an external power supply for the HD. It then might work.

It should, and btw, the dock is awesome. If u get a good power source, as in plug it up to the wall it will support an external hdd with ease

Not sure. Seems like that would work but I've had experience with other USB extensions that can't handle large peripheries like external hard drives.

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

No. I bought this with the idea of doing that. I wanted to transfer files with this item as a bridge between my iPad and my laptop. It does not work that way for me.

You can download from an external drive or flashdrive to an Ipad through the wireless connection. Not sure there is a hardwired adapter for the ipad.

Yes, the FlashDrive HD 8 GB should be able to upload items directly to your iPad. I have only used it for photos, but it is supposed to move most data.

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/

Only if your external HDD has a Display Port connection. This is similar to, but not the same, a HDMI connection.

I don't believe so. It basically lets you connect a functional HD to a USB port on a PC.

Absolutely not. This accessory is only to swap the default USB plug of a Seagate GoFlex portable hard drive for a Firewire connector. To view videos and movies on your iPad, you have to use iTunes to upload them on your iPad or use an application like Dropbox to sync them.
