You can connect to a pc and share files, but more importantly, you can connect to a usb hub (preferably powered) and plug ext HD, Keyboards, anything and it will see and use it.

No, HDMI will not work over USB 2.0 because they are of different connection types. - HDMI connectivity is great for connecting a larger external display or even TV, meaning you can share presentations during your work meeting or stream movies with family and friends.- A USB 2.0 port is provided, along with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 offering up to 10-times (10X) faster data transfers. You even get a built-in SD card reader which is great for transferring files, photos and other media easily.

I don't think the USB port can provide enough power to run a hard drive. You might end up having slow rpms on your HD, therefore decreasing performance. If it's not plugged on the network, best way out is to plug a big-fat flash drive with your movies.

Nope. This adapter was designed for Micro SATA connections. Full size drives use SATA connections. USB would also be too slow/not enough power to run a Blu Ray Drive.

I'm not sure if you can plug a external hard drive directly to the t.v., I usually connect my t.v. through my local network. For example I'll turn on my computer and have it set up through windows media player. Same thing with my music......

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

No, it won't work. I used this to interface a TV with a cable box. You need the HDMI for the TV if equipped, and a USB for the computer. If it were me, I would get a USB to HDMI cable if they make one.

I was able to get a couple of different USB-powered hard drives to work with the adapter. Different drives require different amounts of power, though, so I can't say it would work with your drive. I would guess that it probably would, though.

If you can remove the hard drive and it has the pin configuration that fits the adaptor it should work.

this is an adapter to connect between HDMI cables in case your HDMI cable is short and you need to add extra HDMI cable, NO USB, search for USB adapter

The end that plugs into the hard drive is mini USB. Do not use third party USB cables with this hard drive, the mini USB plug on those adapters is too loose.

No. This is an "Adapter Cable", not just "Adapter". So both ends of this product are male, and this product can connect your laptop and HDMI TV DIRECTLY. You can search another product called "HDE Mini DisplayPort to HDMI TV Monitor Adapter" on Amazon.com, that is simply an "Adapter", much shorter cable, mini port is male and HDMI end is female, for that product you need to buy a HDMI cable to connect the female HDMI end of your adapter to your HDMI TV.

Hi there. Unfortunately, no. The USB is for power. It has to plug to a power cube while the micro USB carries the image and sound to the HDMI port. Hope this helps.

Hi jim, I bought this to connect two regular ( may be type A ) USB male ended wires the connection I made it was between external hard drive and tablet which did not work for me but there was no problem about the quality of particularly this blue piece of product. If both wires you are using are USB male ended on each side you can try and I hope the best for you. I never get advantage of it but I kept for the future in case if ever I need it again.

not sure why you would want to use with a TV. This is an empty case holder for a user provided 2.5" hard drive. If you loaded it with an appropriate Hard Drive it would connect to a PS3 but the PS3 ports for USB are only USB2 not USB3. It would still work but not as fast as USB3.
