sorry if this is a repeated question, but will this accept a USB 500 GB hard drive?

It is set up for a full-sized SATA drive. There is a small motherboard inside and there is a SATA 0 and SATA 1 connector on the board. There are two USB ports on the back. The lower one is for the mouse. The upper one might work the USB 500 GB HDD BUT, you would still have to have a 3.5 SATA hdd inside the box to run the system. What I had before was a four camera system that you could turn on and off manually or schedule it, and the system made an identifiable file for each individual segment with date and time code. This system turns on and records as soon as you put in the hdd and a camera. It just goes. It has a scheduler but I couldn't get it to work. I am now using four indie cameras 700TL, a 4 channel splitter box that connects 4 cameras to the box and a USB connector to the Laptop, and using (((ISPY--which is free))) to manage the cameras and recording. This is a difficult system to configure and to use. Even the online manual isn't clear. So, you would have to buy a SATA to run the system and you could off load what was on it to your USB portable but I advise you to flee.

To record events you need an internal sata drive. The external usb drive can only be used to backup recordings of the internal drive, not as main recording media.From experience for the internal drive is best to use an 2.5 inch notebook hd because the box doesnt have active cooling (does not come with an internal fan but have the fitting for one!).3.5 ich drives tend to make the temperature rise and could lead to system errors or failure.

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.

As long as you get an external 3.5" enclosure for it that supports USB and is powered. An external 2.5" 500gb would be better since you wouldn't need a power cable.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

no you will need to buy that separate or buy a hard drive enclosure, i personally purchased one that is 3.0 usb for faster transfer speed.

I would be surprised if it didn't, but as always, look for the max hard drive size for the exact model of laptop, and of course, make sure the interface is compatible (it probably is, also)

I don't believe so, what matters is the size which is 500GB, the type which is a SATA 2.5 laptop hard drive, and the speed which is 5400 rpm, but the part numbers change as new hard drives come out.

More than likely it will, but make sure you're current hard drive is 5400 ... I made the mistake & purchased the wrong speed drive. Fits perfectly but doesn't work.

Yes. Should work as any external HD. This is just a shell for a drive to go into.

You'd think so but the 32GB fills up quickly. Plus if you're using it in undocked mode you can't access anything on the 500GB HDD. It all depends on what you use it for.

It should, that is a small drive. Is it an IDE drive? If it is, yes it would work.

yes; but USB connection is slower than regular hard drive. However, if you use eSATA connection, it's speed is just like your internal drive.

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

If you mean usb drive then no. This device only supports micro SD for external memory.
