• Using an external hard drive with Windows 7

  I soon moved to the States but won't my Pc for a while once there. I intend to take an external hard drive with me to use with your laptop, once arrived in the States.

Data such as Word, doc, Excel, doc, internet web pages. I do not know the media items will be ok, but not sure about programs etc.

• Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

  Hello

  Happy new year.

  Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

  I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

  - Western Digital my book Duo.

  - IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

  I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

  Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.

• You can use an external hard drive with iPad Pro

  A disk external drive can be used with an iPad Pro?

  You can do it wirelessly with devices such as Wireless Connect from Sandisk stick.

  There are other devices that run a similar feature, but the Sandisk Connect is incredibly portable and usable also as a USB drive (even if it is a USB 2.0 device).  It is now available in capacities of 16 GB to 200 GB.

  I don't know of anyway to connect an iPad Pro on an external drive via a wired connection... Although it may be possible.
