This is not one of those network storage drives right? The type that require Internet connection to use.

I don't have this hard drive yet, they have not sent it back to me. But it is not a network storage device, it connects to your computer via firewire or USB. At least that's what it should do.

I don't know exactly what you mean, Its a software, so it doesn't require an internet connection. You just install it to your pc.

The drive shows up as a network drive but you should be able to install programs on it. If you just want an external drive to install programs on you wouldn't need this network drive. You could do that on any external hard drive that is not networked. You would only need this drive if you wish to have access to your files and data while away from your computer say on a laptop or other desktop computer. Hope this helps. uspilot

I'm going to say no, if you have it stored on a disk you don't need internetI primarily use it to connect to Netflix, Hulu and spotify

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.

no, you can not, that's only for network storage or to turn on the Mikrotik.

Can I be honest with you, Wilfredo? We returned that drive because it required being connected to the internet and that wasn't what I wanted for a secure file storage.

Yes. This drive connects directly to your computer using a USB port. A different kind of drive, called Network Attached Storage (NAS) plug into a switch or router, and could (for example) be accessed wirelessly from a tablet - without your computer at all. These USB drives don't have that kind of support yet. It is possible to plug this drive into other hardware that isn't a 'computer', such as a media server in your entertainment center. The media server would take the place of a computer. (Actually, media servers are computers nowadays, just as TVs and tablets are.) Of course, whatever you want to plug it into will need to support the newer USB 3.0 standard.

Presently I have a drive connected to it as a backup device for my laptop. Temporarily. However it is mostly used to check drives and retrieve data.

You can't use your home internet and connect to this at same time. You can plug it in to you pc directly but then it's not like a external hard drive. I highly recommend buying a wirless router with a USB port. You than can connect and external hard drive you want and connect to all your pc's including internet.

This is not a wifi router, and you do need a ISP (internet service provider) to use it.

These devices are connected to a local computer, which does not need access to the Internet. However, if you want to use "remote veiwing," which I'm sure you will, then the computer to which they are connected needs Internet access.

It's an mSATA drive. Search for mSATA drives here on Amazon, larger capacities are available.

It has an external USB minidongle 150Mb/sec, built-in wired NIC, not wireless.

It is a standard drive, not solid state storage. Not sure of interface technology?

The drive itself isn't. But the software being used with it might be blocking it. I would check the regional settings in the software.

My understanding is that this is a SATA hard drive, without the "Drive". You have to have an adapter of some form to plug it into a sata port, or you may have a mother board with a MSATA socket.
