great question. It holds all types of files. If you wanna transfer files it will do it. If you want it to directly record from the security to the WD I am not certain. WD has a great customer service 24/7 that will answer your question and tell you if there is a specific way to do it. WD is the best device. I have had zero trouble out of WD, and I have 5 of them, and everyone I know has WD. Folks that use other brands fail at times and are 2nd or 3rd rate. hope you can use it for your purpose.

It should be no problem at all. Once you enter the password after putting in the flashdrive in a computer, you can backup, copy whatever between two flashdrives or between the flashdrive and computer. It really is a nice product. I purchased three of them and they all work great.

You can put any type of data on this, but I have found I prefer the really small "SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 64GB USB Flash Drive".

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

I have used a 16 gigabyte flash drive with no issues. I am positive that a 32 gigabyte will be no problem.

The flash drive is in Fat 32 format which will have limitation on 4GB or below file tranfering. If you format it to NTFS, you can transfer any size of files as long as the whole capacity allows it. Is this what you mean?

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

It works like every other Hard Drive. Its mechanical so no Solid State Speeds but does support USB 3.0 so it will be able to transfer data faster. It only has 500 GB of space so as long as what you want to put on this drive (pictures, movies, backups) is not larger than 500GB, it should suffice. This device also comes with a standard USB 3.0 cable so it will connect to any USB port on a computer. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0, the speeds will just be slower.

Only if you set up more places on the flash drive by reformatting with software for the drive(should come with your new drive).

Yes from what I understand, it should. I use my usb flash drive and it works perfect.

Yes you should be able to move USB Thumb drive data to SD Card with the device

Yes, but not automatically. Drive is hardware encrypted, so you first have to decrypt the drive to gain access. Thereafter, it works like any flash drive.

I bought different cameras with the ZMODO. As long as they have the same leads and outlets to the 500 GB hard drive, you will be fine....

With the encryption constantly enabled on this USB flash drive, I would think it would not work. Even with the Drive formatted, it would not work.

It should work. I have Windows 7 PC and I wanted to transfer old records from 3.5 disks to my PC and a flash drive and I had no problems once I plugged USB cable external 3.5 drive into my PC.

As long as your computer equipment has the appropriate usb driver program installed (most do) it should work. A more pressing concern might be whether or not you choose to password protect or encrypt the files to prevent loss of privacy in the event the drive is lost or stolen. I haven't personally explored this function on the drive.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: It's a very standardized interface supported in almost any operating system. You should expect this to work as well as a USB flash drive. There may be some slight differences between operating systems, such as whether it powers down when not in use and how long (within a narrow range) it takes to start transferring data. Otherwise you'll have no problems.
