is it possible to hard line this into two computers via usb hub or some other solution

Only if that hub acts like a shared drive on a network like apple airport. Hard wire to two computers directly, no.

I have this drive connected to my Surface Pro 3 via an old Belkin USB hub. As far as networking the device has an Ethernet port so you can plug it in directly to your home router instead of sharing via device hotspot wirelessly.

It's like any other portable hard drive. I don't understand about two different computers but you can attach it to a USB hub, router or directly to any PC

You can use this device connected to a USB 3.0 hub. I use it with the Plugable 7 port USB 3.0 hub with two monitors and the Ethernet connected and it works great.

You can't daisy chain these drives since they only have one usb port. Both must be connected to your computer at the same time in order to transfer data from one another

The computer has two usb ports that can be used to connect an external hard drive

I think may be not by USB, if your lap top has the same input port (firewire) may be yes. With a mac you could do that

No is not possible . The connectivity is imposible. There is no USB connectivity in this sytem.

Not simultaneously - 2 USB cables are not for 2 computers, one of them is used as additional power source. AFAIK there are no USB devices, that can work with 2 computers at the same time.I am not sure, but maybe you can use any USB-to-Ethernet boxes to connect by net?

No according to the manual. But you might be able to sync two computers via SMPTE or midi time clock.

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer. From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub. I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

I know this isn't answering you question, but I don't know. I don't even use mine anymore because it wasn't so great. I recommend getting a Belkin USB hub.

But how would you add more than one external drive? Would you just use a USB hub?

No it's not possible paring more than one at the same time, you should discconect the current device if you want to connect a different device.

None. You can buy an external USB drive or share a drive from another computer. We use our portable for that purpose.

There are work around methods but it involves many adapters or using a desktop or laptop as an intermediary device. I suggest using drop-box or Google Drive.

I think you can. There is a spot for the smaller end of a USB cord, which would probably allow you to attach to another computer. I hope this is helpful.
