Can I connect an external Optical drive to Omni 10

I am thinking to buy an Omni 10 tab. I want to confirm thad does it support external Optical Drives via USB OTG.
I have found from other threads on HP Support that it supports External HDD bt I am not sure about External ODD.
I asume that External ODD Requires more power than External HDD.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

@ Ritaban: The micro-USB port on an Omni 10 is capable of supplying only a limited amount of power to operate attached devices (500 mA maximum). Most USB devices which contain motors (hard drives, scanners, optical drives) require substantially more sustained power than an Omni tablet can deliver. (for example, HP-branded portable DVD drives require 2 Amps — that's 4x what an Omni can deliver.)
However, there is a straightforward solution to attaching a wide variety of high-power USB peripherals to an Omni tablet, if they are connected via a Powered USB Hub. Although the Omni micro-USB port limits data transfers to USB 2.0 speeds, I recommend employing a USB 3.0 hub, because they typically are bundled with higher-output power supplies than their USB 2.0 counterparts.
Most low-power USB devices — keyboard, mouse, flash stick, card reader — can usually be connected directly to an Omni tablet, via a micro-usb adapter cable, and won't require any supplemental operating power. However, if you intend to operate an Omni tablet for sustained periods with any USB devices attached, time between charges will be substantially reduced, so attach the supplied charger as well, whenever possible ...
I hope to see you back here at some point, to tell us about how-much you're enjoying your new Omni 10 tablet! Your questions are welcome as well...
Enjoy!

Can i connect an external hard drive?

Can I connect an external hard drive to the ipad? How about the new one or the iPad 2? I would like to be able to watch movies stored on the external drive.

Ordinarily no but I seem to recall someone once describing such a device. Mr. Google is your friend.

Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule for off site back up?

I like having a copy of everything at another site in case of a house fire. Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule? I would store that hard drive at work and bring it home monthly or something to back up Time Capsule. Thanks!

Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule?
That is exactly what the Archive function on the Time Capsule is for. Connect a USB drive and click Archive, and a mirror image of your Time Capsule will be copied over to the USB drive. It's a slow process that will take 4-8 hours depending on how much data is on the Time Capsule, so best to start things late at night and let them run overnight.
Another option would be to use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to keep your backup. The advantage to this approach is that once the first "master" backup is done, the application will only back up the changes on the Time Capsule that have occurred since the last backup. So, subsequent backups will be much faster, probably only taking about 10-15 minutes.

Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

Can I connect a external hard drive to the TC thru the Ethernet instead of the USB port so it will transfer data faster

I Want to connect the external hard drive so that I can transfer files faster then the USB 2.0. There is a thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter that you can buy I I just want to know if the hard drive can be accessed thru the Ethernet line instead of the USB. I think it will work faster than the USB. But not sure

It won't work.. the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter doesn't work without drivers and the external thunderbolt drive is not now or ever a network drive.
Yes you can plug an ethernet type drive into the TC.. or into anywhere on the network.. it is after all another network drive..
eg Another TC is a network drive.
Seagate or WD make reasonably priced network drives. But they will not have the HFS+ format which the TC does.
You can buy a NAS from any of a whole range of companies.. A NAS is an ethernet connected drive.
See the reviews here to pick a NAS.

Can i connect an external hard drive to my ipad?

I am getting an Ipad Air soon, and will be getting a Macbook next year, not decided which one yet but is their any chance i can connect an external hard drive to my Ipad? Im getting the less memory one because i cant afford the higher one yet my parents have offered to get me an external hard drive... With me going to uni next year and having to use my ipad in lectures this could really help :/

There are WiFi Hard Drives that you can use within iPad, but by the time that you factor in the price for that you might be better off just asking mom and dad to help pay for the larger capacity iPad and use iTunes and your Mac for the "external storage" that you might need.
Really - if you are going to purchase a MacBook and an iPad, I don't see any need at all for an external drive. But take a look here.

Can I connect an externa hard drive and access files from 2 or more computers wirelessly?

Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to my linksys modem and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers?
I have a wireless G wrt54G modem working on windows XP a desktop and laptop on my home system. I have a WD “my book” external hard drive with a usb interface. My modem does not have a USB interface.
At work I also have 4 laptops using XP and vista and looking to have them all access an external hard drive and printers. I have not selected a hard drive for the work system.
If yes can I add 2 or more printers and print form all connected computers?
If yes, is it possible to access the files of the external hard drive (home system) via the internet?
Thanks in advance for all your help

First, your WRT54G is a router, not a modem. Different function.
Yes, you can "connect an external hard drive... and access the files wirelessly by 2 or more computers," just not that external hard drive. You need one that supports network attachment, with an ethernet connection.
And you can print to printers from various computer, again if the printers are made to support that.
The answer to your last question is maybe. Oh, it's definitely possible, but may require learning about static IP addresses, dynamic DNS, firewalls, port forwarding, file sharing...

Can I connect an external hard drive to my time capsule to add virtual hard drive space?

I would like to make a 4 TB external hard drive available wirelessly on my home network. I have heard that I could connect it to my router or my Time Capsule to do this. Is this possible? Is there any special setup I need to do to enable this to work?
Additionally, I have two Macbooks in the house and have recently purchased a second Time Capsule. I would like to back up each computer to its own Time Capsule. Is there a configuration that would make this possible?
If the two Time Capsules are connected together via an ethernet cable (in extend the network mode), and one elects to back both of their computers up to the primary Time Capsule, does the primary use the secondary Time Capsule's hard drive space to continue backing up once it becomes full?
Thanks in advance for any advice you all may have for me in this situation!

How can I connect an external hard drive to my ipad

How can I add additional data storage to my ipad 2?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

Can I Connect an External Hard Drive to an older Airport Extreme?

I have an Airport Extreme V5.7 and was wondering if I can connect it to my external Hard drive via USB. Is this possible? Right now I have it hooked up but I don't see it anywhere on my PB G4. It mentions that I can hook up a USB Printer but I would hope that it could connect to an external hard drive as well. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks,

The round AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) do not support USB hard drives.

Can i connect an external hard drive to my iMac

I have recently switched from a windows PC and have transferred all my documents/photos to an external hard drive. Can I connect this to my iMAC?

Absolutely. If the format is NTFS, you can only read from it which would give you access. If you want to read and write to it, then consider copying off the files then reformatting the drive to ex-fat (to keep windows compatibility) or HFS+ to be Mac only. When you're done you can copy the files back.
Changing formats is accomplished via the Mac application "Disk Utility" which is in your "Utility" application folder.

Can I connect TWO external firewire drives?

Hi - i have a G5 Powermac 2.3 DP
I have a Lacie External Hard Drive connected already to the firewire 800 port, but I want to know if I can have another connected to the Firewire 400 port at the same time (and actually transfer data betweeen the 2 external drives).
ie. are the firewire 800 and 400 ports independent?
Thx

No problem on connecting a second and even a third FW drive. I have 1 FW drive connected to the FW 800 port and two others daisy chained to the FW 400 port in the rear of my G5, still leaving the port on the front open. They all work fine and I can easily copy files from one to another. Only two issues: some people claim that if you have a FW 400 device and a FW 800 device connected, then everything works at 400 speed. I don't know if that is true and may some other poster will confirm. The only other "problem" is that my Canon Optura Camcorder will not interface via FW if anyother FW device is connected. Apparently this is true for Canon cameras and maybe some other cameras as well. But HD drives are not a problem.

Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule?

Is it possible to "extend" Time Capsule storage with an external hard drive? If I connect a hard drive to Time Capsule using its USB slot, would I be able to access it wirelessly from my Mac the same as I access the built-in Time Capsule drive? If so, will it be slower than the native drive?

1. No.
2. Yes. The external drive will be treated as a separate volume instead of adding to the capacity of the internal drive.
