Will I be able to add new files from my computer to the external hard drive attached to the Micca Media Player using the LAN?

Yes. Although I do it using a wireless USB "N" stub, a Network cable would provide even faster speeds I would imagine. With wireless, its not very practical, but with LAN it would be. With my "n" wireless connection, I believe the Micca uses a Samba based connection system to your computers Network (which you will have to setup for access)...I have found that with my wireless connection, I can PLAY videos/movies up to 720P smoothly without incident....at 1080P its too much to do wirelessly, but who knows what the limits will be with your given router/computer.

hello and thanks for your question and yes you will be able to add your files to the hard drive from your computer just make sure you turn on media sharing and that your computer picks up the micca player if you dont see it listed in devices do a rescan of devices as i just tested it my self and it worked

Yes. There are several ways to transfer files over the LAN to any drive attached to the Micca.

No it cannot by itself. The unit will only stream from your main hard drive inside your computer (usually drive C:). You can stream from an external hard drive connected to your router if you have a media server program that was included with your router's software or with a third party program such as Twonky. However, the formats the player will read are limited and even then it may not read those formats.

I am using a paid app called nPlayer which can practically play almost all media files. I use the SMB share option in nPlayer to wirelessly connect and play my media library from a flash storage.

This will support a VMware image over a LAN connection, I would suggest using the aggregated ethernet option which this also supports. DO NOT do anything funky like running encrypted RAID 0/1/5 etc. Run an ext3 (limit 16GB file size) with what ever flavor of raid you like. This will not be fast but will work. Have the VMplayer on a desktop / Laptop and point the player / workstation to the file located on the NAS box.

yes. just plug the HardDrive or USB stick to the USB port on the router and turn file sharing on from configuration

No, there is no way for it to access your laptop or your network. You need to copy the files onto an SD memory card or USB memory, then play the files on this player.

it should, its essentially a tiny remote drive, the file system can only be viewed in a browser tho, then its just a matter of dragging and dropping to your desired folder

When the device is connected to the computer, or mac, it is recognized as external disk. If you have mp3 or wma files in your mac, you can copy into it. It will not sync with itune.

Yes you can if it connects by USB. You can also connect over a network if the drive is shared and skip the wires.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

I use this one: Nu USB 2.0 10 Port Hub (with Power Adapter). I have attached 8 external drives ranging from 1TB to 3TB on this hub. This USB hub works well, and I guess any USB hub will work with the Micca.

No. It only will record to the internal hard drive and doesnt have any way to load a shared or network drive.

short answer: maybe. can you attach an external drive? yes. it however will only be as functional as the app you plan to use. you may be able to view video content or pictures through media player but you could only write a file if there is an app that allows it. windows rt is very limited and only allows you to use windows apps. so if there isnt an app that allows you to read/write data then no, you wont get much functionality out of it.

I have successfully transferred data from discs in an external USB-connected caddy, such as a Cavalry. I have not tried it with several in the Mediasonic as JBOD, but have my doubts. I'd try getting one external hard drive to act as a bridging device (ideally big enough to accommodate the 2TB drives if they are not full) than make the 2TB drives into a 6TB RAID array.

You can add hard drives, but you cannot use this device for a locally-shared network-attached device. It's only useful for getting to files over the internet, like, for example, from your hotel room and you want to watch movies you might have stored on the device.

yes the ugoo7b should see your Nas as a media serverjust add a new source on the your video files or audio files and we should have an option to see any network devices on your network

You can install applications to the external hard drive. But you most likely run into issues. It is not recommended.
