If you put a Thumb drive in the KVM is that then available to the Computers as you select them

The USB connections are for usb mouse and usb keyboard. It does not appear that they are like some KVMs that have a "shared" usb port. This unit has the purpose of hooking up different keyboard and mouse combinations (Legacy PS/2 or newer USB) both for console control and end machine control.

yes, it is easy to map as a network drive. I have mapped it to both Windows 7 and 8, as well as Linux

I use it to flip a thumb drive between two computers and it is near-instantaneous. My KVM switch does take some time, however. My guess is that it is the way in which the OS handles keyboards more than the switch latency you are experiencing.

KVMs are designed to share an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor with multiple computers. The keyboard, mouse and screen on the laptop are hardwired into the motherboard of the laptop and cannot be shared via a KVM like this. If you had a working laptop and a desktop, you could use a set of external keyboard, mouse and monitor to control both the laptop and desktop with this KVM.

Basically, the only thing that the KVM switch would do is allow the 2 computers to share a monitor, KB & mouse.Other than that, they could be "connected" via network.I don't know if that helps.

Yes. I use it with KVM switch between my PC desktop and Mac laptop. Some of the extra buttons have different default assignment under two OSes, but other than that, no issues

your computer will show each drive separately that is connected to the computer. Separate power buttons allow for turning on only the drive you want to work with.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

You can if your entire system is compatible with your computer. I needed a tech to implement the feature.

I don't know what a kvm is. It plugs in line in between a keyboard and a PC. What ever is typed into that keyboard is recorded.

No, you would have to control functions on the device you are using, like the computer or disk player.

You can plug two USB devices into the KVM switch and both devices will work on each machine, one machine at a time. Each machine will only need the one USB cable coming from the KVM switch to operate both USB devices.

It should as it would appear as one of your HDDs in the bios which you can then select as a boot drive

They appear like a normal USB drive, if you can read a USB stick on that computer, you can use it

Yes, you can, as long a you have enough GB space on the Clickfree. Check to see how much disc space is being used on each computer & tally it up.

You can link two hard drives together via a "KVM" switch. That way, you have the best of both worlds... two computers! The KVM switch allows you to switch back and forth to each computer. The switch also accommodates your mouse/keyboard and wireless Internet.
