Can you fast forward on shows you move to an external drive?

Yes, it's much like watching video on your phone. You can fast forward or you can "high speed scrub" by dragging your finger to a specific time of the video.

I use it by downloading shows to my iPad. You can easily fast forward plus it has the 30 second forward ability.

If by external drive you were talking about the GenieGO, I will say that you're able to move it forward but only by "scrubbing." It is far from exact, and quite cumbersome, but that's the only way I can use mine to fast forward.

Well for one that's not true. I watch movies on my ps3 and my flash drive is NTFS. I assume you could do Fat32 but have not tried.

None. You have to put in your own hard-drive; this is just an enclosure for an internal drive to make it an external drive.

Yes, I just checked it out with my portable 1 TB hard drive. It will automatically open up to a screen asking if you if you are going to view pictures, play music, or play movies. Then it will take you to the next menu just like a computer if you use folders. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can, if your external hard drive is also connected to your computer. It makes it a tad slower than saving to the SD card, but yes you can.

I haven't moved it. I just set it up on my desk and it works like any other external drive. I heard they were rugged and I keep my photos on it.

I don't remember for sure. I think I used 'Convert e: /fs:ntfs' and it only took a few seconds, so even if it's not it's no big deal

In youtube there is such a video. A dude connects a flash drive into this and jumps to further velocities compared to 7200 rpm seagate backup plus

No, I don't think you can. These drives are usually either for a Mac or PC and not interchangeable. I don't know of any that you could use for the purpose you want. Have you looked into something like Carbonite? There are others like this out there. This is a remote program to store your files and then you can get them from anywhere. You could look into this. It takes quite a while to save your files initially but then works in the background after that. Congrats for switching to a Mac. There is a learning curve but I'm sure, in the end, you will be glad you did!

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

I use mine as a manual back up. You connect to your computer and it registers as another drive automatically.

Roger, you can transfer the existing files to an extrnal drive via USB. I don't know if you can record directly to an external drive.

It's not that simple, but yes. Suggest you google this question in your browser: "how to transfer data from one external hard drive to another".

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

If it's a external hard drive, you cannot because there's not enough power running through the device. But thumb drives and flash drives work fine but beware that they transfer very slowly

Dear Patryk: Yes it does pick it up as an external drive which you can easily find. Patriot is a terrible company with poor customer service. I have one of their other drives that has already been replaced. The better option is to go with the Corsair 256G USB drive (which I purchased after returning the Patriot), which looks almost identical and is faster. Hope this answers your question and good luck.

Yes, most external optical drives are USB driven, it's as simple as plugging it in and downloading any needed software.
