Yes you can. Any attached USB device shows up as a folder named according to the name of the thumb drive or external HDD you plug in. You can simply double click to open and do whatever you desire to. Thanks.

I use Thumb drives and not mechanical Hard drives in my media-share. I had data on them and it was recognized. Fro that< I would assume that a Mechanical Hard Drive would react in the same manner.

You can store any files, including media and will stream to your computer over USB. This unit works like any other USB drive.

Your could do if the Flash drive is big enough. Personally I use an external hard drive to back up data. and just use the flash drives for portable data. If you want to back up more than just data [software/ settings] then you would need disc replicating software.

Only if your DVD player has a USB port. The Verbatim comes with a USB cord to connect it with your computer. My family loves this for family trips!

I own the M-DISC media and it is fantastic with my external LG Blu-Ray drive. But would require an awful lot of discs for a full backup. I backup to an external HD using Acronis Tru-Image. Making an image of the entire drive gives me everything including the operating system, registry, programs and all of the files.

Only if the TV has a USB port, which is unlikely. An alternative is to connect the drive to a computer that can network or connect directly to the TV.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.

Yes you can. However, it might not if you format the thumb drive to a different format. e.g. FAT32 versus NTFS or whatever?

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

I do not think so. I use the verbatim cd's to burn music cd's and to duplicate preached sermons. Hope this helped.

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

Thanks so this is just a format, and then it is plug and play only needs to be mounted with super user permission to write to the drive (something we do every day in Linux) I was concerned that it might have some sort of proprietary software interface and could not be used outside of Mac & Microsoft operating systems. The backup software I believe would not be Linux compatible, but Clonezilla does that task rather well... Thanks Linas Vepstas for your hands on response...MT

Yes and no. It doesn't necessarily need formatted but the computer you are using it with will probably need the proper drivers, if you are using it as an external hard drive.

I am able to use it with Linux without the software, so I assume you can just mount the drive like any other USB drive in Windows.
