I want to put medical files on the drive and wear around my neck on a chain. Will it work?

Of course, it will. Make sure that you use a word processing program that the EMT can download. For instance, Word cannot be read on some of their computers. You may need to call the service who would come to you and ask them which program to use. Or, call the ER at your hospital and ask them the same question.

As long as your computer equipment has the appropriate usb driver program installed (most do) it should work. A more pressing concern might be whether or not you choose to password protect or encrypt the files to prevent loss of privacy in the event the drive is lost or stolen. I haven't personally explored this function on the drive.

Certainly can fit and be worn as a necklace. It's very small and light. Measures .5" wide x 1.5 long.

Yes. I use it with Linux Mint and Kubuntu operating systems. I also have TrueCrypt on it and my files encrypted with TrueCrypt, using the universal version which allows access from both Windows and Linux computers. That's the encryption method you'd want where the files must be shared perhaps across more than Linux only or Windows only.

The BEVT is listed in that forum thread as being a nonAFT drive so yes it should work. Good luck!

Yes. If you're talking about MacOS, that is. The drive has this problem though: the cable easily dislodges and dismounts the drive. Sometimes all you have to do is move your computer, and you get a dismount cuz the cable seems to be that sensitive.

I don't see why not. If your PC recognizes the external drive, you should be ok. The only problem will be format. Your text from the word processor will have to be able to be translated into something your PC can read. If you have a problem, I suggest you give the Geek Squad a call. Tell them you just bought an external 3.5 floppy and you need to know how to download onto your PC. They may have a suggestion.

It's recommended to transfer to a drive equal in size or larger. I don't think it will work out well going from more to less.

Honestly, I have not tried doing so. But, it would work if Chrome has some kind of built-in driver for the drive. Generally, it seems that Chrome has limitations and, while easy to use, is not as robust as MS Windows when it comes to settings and possibly to attaching devices. My impression has been that this is more of a cloud (internet-connected) type of setup. Though, you're welcome to try attaching an external drive. I'd be curious to know if the attached drive would work.

http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/SkuImages/gallery/large/C10-1200-01.jpg This is the bottom of the stick where the lanyard appears to go. I found a review that you may be interested in reading: Why 2 stars on features? Read on... Comment: This drive works fine. I have no problems with the data transfer/storage, etc. What I do have a problem with, is the physical design of the lanyard loop. There is actually an opening into the body of the drive, right under the loop. What this means is, it's nearly impossible to simply thread a lanyard through the loop (it goes into the opening into the body of the drive, instead of out the other side of the loop). I had to use a needlenose tweezer to actually thread the lanyard. For a good product like this, that simple feature shouldn't be so difficult to work with! I hope that helps.

The guide has to fit on the chain, that is the important fact. You can probably use whatever file you want as long as the guide fits the chain.

It has a hole in the back of the plastic for a lanyard. It does not look like it would work well for a key chain. It is build into the body of the drive.

I actually have mine on a stainless steel chain around my neck. It usually rests in my bra, but still works just the same when it is out on my shirt. I love it. Seems accurate & keeps me motivated.

Yes I believe it will indeed work. Its a matter of finding the right location for those skinny pin-like appendages. Be aware of the partition format of the drive and the operating system. If formats are compatible and this thing doesn't work you might have a dead drive (Very costly to recover). Cheers

Key loop can't be changed....I carry drive in pocket and not on key ring, so it doesn't matter. Agree that with the key ring loop on the drive end there may be less chance of losing the drive or misplacing it. It is one tough drive....I have three (two older and one new 3.0) and all three still work fine after being subjected to whatever I have in my pocket and dropping etc. For me that's the reason to have one of these drives.

I don't see why it shouldn't work, but I have to warn you, the longevity and durability of this drive is horrible. Mine became a paperweight--the lights would turn on, and I could hear the platter spinning, but nothing would happen after that--after about 8 months with very light (manual backups only) use. The problem is their drive interface. I had to break open the case and was then able to salvage the actual hard drive--I think it was a Seagate--and put it in another enclosure, but since Buffalo uses a proprietary format, the drive was unreadable in a standard SATA enclosure, so I had to reformat it--all data lost. While it worked it was wicked fast, but it didn't last long, and I lost all my backup data. I don't recommend you buy it even though CNET loves it (that's where I learned about it).

Yes, as long as your computer has an available USB port, this drive should work for you. Mine has been great!

I would think so... I have over 20 Portable hard drives linked into my PC. It is a HUB... it should takle anything that is attached.

This was an internal drive but with an external hard drive case, im sure it would work.

I'm not really sure the correct answer to your question. I would assume if they offer the coverage at check out then yes would be the answer but to be safe try e-mailing them your question before purchasing your external drive.
