Hooking it up to a external hard drive? Does anybody know if you can hook up a card reader directly to an external hard drive?

Only if you external hard drive has a USB slave connection (the drive acts like a host), if the drive has a compatible, native driver and and user interface to instruct it to copy from the card/reader to the drive. I have not seen an external hard drive yet that can do this. There are standalone hard drive and CD burners with built-in card slots and a LCD screen that can do this.

Does your computer have a card reader? If so put a card in the card reader and put the cd in your computer and transfer the photos from the CD to the card. BUT SERIOUSLY MINE IS BROKE ALREADY. I WOULDN"T BUY THIS ONE. It is just crappy.

Yes can attached your usb-to-card readers or even the usb thumbdrive will work with this. Im using samsung galaxy tablet 2 7.0.

You need to purchase a 5 in one card reader... amazon search for SHARKK... With this you can connect a USB cable.... See here for more info: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4449073?start=0

The tablet has a mini usb connection so you'd need an adapter that would allow a card reader to connect to it.

This card reader connects to the usb 2.0 header on your motherboard, which powers all the card slots. Just make sure you have an open header on your board.

This is not a card reader, so I would say no. That aside, mine never worked so I returned it.

Yes - it's just a glorified card reader. My daughter uses it with my MacBook with no problems. Just drag and drop the files.

I have a card reader in my laptop, which makes it very easy, buy I would assume that once u plug the camera cord into the computer it would read it as anoyher drive and you could easily drag and drop them or copy and paste them into a folder of your choice.

If you don't have the USB cable, you can either get it online somewhere or else get a memory card adapter so you can simply plug the Memory Stick into your computer's card reader (newer models have this).

DaOtter-The device will not read from an external hard drive. (too bad because that would truly be awesome!) Only USB flash memory. I have used up to 8 gigs with no problems. I would imagine that the new 16 or 32 gig sticks would be fine as well.I've found that using microSDHC cards with the tiny USB adapter works great. You get 8 gigs of SanDisk memory for around $15 with a form-factor that sticks out less than a standard USB flash drive. Theoretically you could also use the microSDHC in a phone or mp3 player as well.

I have used the USB and SD card reader at the same time without problem. Hope it works for you as well.

Get a card reader that will use your existing usb ports. You can pick them up on Amazon, Radio Shack, Walmart, so many places. Get a cheap one....they all work and those that are usb3 compliant might be more than your computer can handle.

What exactly to you have that is connected to your computer that is powered by the USB? Keyboards, Mice, Game Controllers, Flash Drives, USB Memory Card Readers, all these things should work just fine. External Hard Drives I am not sure about, but If your External Hard Drive is Powered though a AC Adapter (Or DC Adapter if You live outside the USA) I am guessing it should be OK, but if you are not sure or uncomfortable about hooking up a hard drive to a USB extension cord like this one. Then you are better off just using the shorter USB cable that the External Hard Drive came with.
