Hello. I'm not sure if it is capable of external hard drive usage. This is an Android Tablet, not a pc so I'm not sure of its full, tech capabilities. There should be a User Guide in the packaging when you received this item. If your question is not answered after review of guide, please contact Acer Customer Service at: www.acersupport.com or (866) 695-2237. I must say...I have yet to use all of its features -- I've had it almost 8 months and have not downloaded its disc. I only use it for Internet, review/answer emails or other simple stuff. Otherwise, I am so pleased with this gadget. The vivid colors, touchscreen, ergonomic key board, and large print.

You can use any SATA drive, I think. I would recommend a drive intended for continuous use, such as a NAS drive. I picked a WD Red, 4TB,

I used it as an external drive. Even if you can take the HD out, you still need a sata connecting cable ($8.66 for 2). It has a USB-3 cable which is faster than the conventional USB-2. I wonder why you would pay the price of an external drive and use it as an internal drive, which usually costs less for the same capacity. I bought a WD 4 TB internal drive as D:

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.

You can..bit you will be better of if you install windows and your most common used applications either on an internal SSD (best option) or an external flash drive. The system will be faster this way, and you can use your external 2TB for storing everything else.

I am looking for an external hard drive to back up my entire lap top hard drive, in case of failure. Is the Passport Essential the unit I am looking for?

I don't recommend using a USB flash drive. Use a powered external hard drive.

No, it's intended as a desktop drive, meaning the external power supply is needed. But it's worth checking out LaCie's portable HDs. I have a 250GB Porsche-designed one that's been a workhorse for years.

Use the USB and a USB external hard drive. WD has one with 2TB I picked up during Black Friday sales.

If you want to use it as an external drive, you can get an enclosure for it. Here's an example of what I mean: http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-2588US3-External-Enclosure-Support/dp/B00FYKRI9M/

No drive. I transferred all the files from my Win 7 desktop over wifi on my network. USB thumb drives or external hard drives would work. Using discs would be the slowest and a lot of work.

I've never heard of any external hard drive NOT working on a PC... You might have to reformat, but HDs labeled for Macs should work in PCs (but NOT the other way around!).
