Hi Pele I haven't tried doing this with the Plextalk Pocket, but I tried it using the BrailleSense, even when it was connected to power, and it didn't recognise the drive. I enquired to Hims about it, and they told me that there is simply not enough power on such a device to run a large hard drive. The drive I was trying was a 500GB that doesn't use its own power. So perhaps this is the same of the Plex?

It took a long time to load and, in the end, I lost my nerve and disconnected it, in case it was doing any damage. You can connect a memory pen, and the manual mentions external floppy disc drives, but I think a large hard drive might be too much for it. I could be wrong, though and would be interested to know if anyone has tried this.
