Is there just the one usb 3.0 on the mini dock? I have two external hard drives, both usb 3.0.

The previous answers have already covered the specific question, however I would add that depending on your laptop model, you should have an available USB 3.0 port on the side or back of it that is accessible when docked. Less convenient than permanently connecting the externals to the dock, but does work (that's what I do).

There appears to be just one USB 3.0 port on this MiniDock Plus. Additionally, there are six USB 2.0 ports.http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID;=PD024298

Yes, it is only one USB 3.0 port. If you really like this particular model and need a second port, you could get a USB 3 hub.

I tried hooking up a portable 2.5 2TB hard drive and it had trouble keeping it powered. However, when I attached a USB hub to the smart dock, I was able to plug the hard drive to the hub and it functioned without any problems.

I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

No it only design one HDD Docking, you can add other other cables to make it work, but I would try it.

Nope. The new mac mini uses flash memory that is soldiered on to the logic board. There is no connection point for an HDD at all. What you get when you buy it from Apple what you will ever have. You can use a USB 3 enclosure to add more HDDs though. With USB 3 its about as fast as an internal drive. Same goes for the ram, soldiered on, so max it out as much as you can before purchase.

There is only one cable with mine. There is no USB cable, only a socket with one of those sort of oddly shaped plug usually on the other end of a USB cable. I believe its called a mini B jon

This is the adapter only for a Thunderbolt interface, the drive itself is a separate purchase, you can by various sizes and I believe the standard interface is USB 3.0. You can also daisy chain devices, I use two external drives on my Mac mini, this with a 2tb drive for my ITunes library and portable 1tb Seagate drive for time machine backup.

No. You need to get a splitter cable, to go from female micro USB to twin male micro USB. That way you can charge the dock, AND the device with the device's adaptor

Yes. I used 2 HDD external drives + 2 USB Flash drives. HDD 1 is WesternDigital 1TB (USB 3.0) and HDD 2 is Toshiba 500GB (USB 3.0).Both HDD does not use any AC adapters. I used on Windows 7 USB 2.0 machine and Windows 8.1 USB 3.0 machine.Both computer recognized 2 HDDs and 2 Flash Drives without any problems.However, when I tried with Dell tablet (Venue 11Pro), it only recognized 1 HDD drive.It may have some issue with tablet devices.

It comes with it's own USB 3.0 dock which is backwards compatible with USB 2.0

If you mean usb 3.0, then the answer is no. Check the specs for the various flash drives you're looking at, they should say whether they're 2.0 or 3.0...

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

While I haven't tried the dock with that particular Seagate model, I haven't found any Sata drive that it has not worked for.

It didn't work for me with a single USB 3.0 port. I also had to connect the additional cable to the USB 2.0 port I have to power the drive.

Yes USB 3.0 cables will work with USB 2.0 ports on your computer. You can even plug a USB 2.0 micro cable into the port on the drive. By design all USB 3.0 micro ports can accept USB 2.0 micro plugs also.

my PC has 2 USB ports that are 3.0 if that's the question you're referring to
