A Look at mini usb extender in Where to buy a very short A to A USB extender?

mini usb extender:

Question by Joseph U: Where to buy a very short A to A USB extender?
I am trying to cram a thumb drive and mini hub into a small container. Both will fit, just not when the USB thrumb drive is connected to the hub (which is what I want). So I think a few inch extender USB A to A should do the trick.

I am just not having any luck locating A to A extenders that are less then 3 feet much less 3 inches.

Thanks in advance for any help offered. Links appreciated.

I have a suspicion that you won’t find this “off the rack” but will have to custom build one…your local PC shop should be able to make one for you.

A Look at mini usb extender in Can multiple external hard drives be linked together to create a massive media library?

mini usb extender:

Question by scott42444: Can multiple external hard drives be linked together to create a massive media library?
I am thinking of adding a Roku, Boxee, or Google TV (Logitech Revue) box to my home theater (and replacing my Dell Zino HTPC). I have a very large amount of media on my Western Digital external hard drives and plan on adding A LOT more. For example, I have around 600 DVD movies and would like to convert them ALL to digital (including the menu and extras, which I also have a question on if you wouldn’t mind finding and answering that as well).

My question is, taking the Logitech Revue with Google TV as an example, is there a device or app (compatible with Google TV) that can link all of the WD hard drives together so that I don’t have to manually switch the USB cords. If there are five 1TB hard drives, and the Logitech Revue only has 2 USB ports (and actually one of those would be used for the Logitech DiNovo Mini keyboard dongle) how do I get the Revue to recognize all of the hard drives? Would I be able to just use a USB port extender with 6 USB ports on it? Would that work?

Would the Boxee Box or Roku Box handle this better? Would I just want to stream all of this from another main “Home Server” computer in the house using WiFi?

Thank You in advance.

NAS (network attached storage) may be your ultimate answer. Of course, if you’re going to stream DVD’s, blue-ray, or other high resolution video media from your network, you’ll wan to consider a wireless N network which would allow up to a 270 Mbps connection rate. NAS devices do not require a PC and would only require a router. NAS devices can be pretty expensive, though. NewEgg.com has a vast array of NAS components, enclosures (since you already have the drives), and accessories to build your home network. You probably wouldn’t be able to use a USB hub directly into your Revue, since it wouldn’t be able to separate multiple drives. Your best bet is to make them readily available on a DVR computer, a desktop server, or a NAS wireless storage device. If $ $ $ makes a difference, I would just deal with swapping the USB plugs, and/or getting a USB extension cord if it’s in an awkward place. If money isn’t too much of an issue, you can get a 2 TB eSATA Hard drive for $ 150 via tigerdirect.com, and another one just like it, totaling 4TB, and use a NAS enclosure for about $ 75-100. Some NAS devices allow USB inputs, but USB has a limited bandwidth that may not be suitable for your digital media HD experience. USB 3.0 devices allow a faster data transfer rate, but are extremely limited in compatibility and are very costly.

A Look at mini firewire connector in How do I connect a Samsung VP D361 Mini dv camera to a laptop with no firewire ports or express card slots?

mini firewire connector:

Question by Alan H: How do I connect a Samsung VP D361 Mini dv camera to a laptop with no firewire ports or express card slots?
I have tried connecting a firewire express card to a USB2/Firewire connector, but it still will not recognise the camera.

Best answer:

Answer by Little Dog
There is no such thing as a “USB2/Firewire connector” on a computer. Either the computer port is USB or it is firewire (IEEE1394) compliant. It cannot be both. SOunds like you learned the hard way that USB to firewire converter/adapter/hub/cable things do not work. Oh well…

With no buit-in firewire port or available expansion slot (PCMCIA or ExpressCard), there is no way to connect a miniDV tape based camcorder to that computer to transfer high quality DV-format video. In the remote event you get USB streaming to work, the video quality will be poor.

You have two options:

1) Get/borrow/rent a computer with a fireport and import the video, then transfer the video files to your computer (likely over a network – DV format video uses about 14 gig of computer hard drive space per hour of imported DV quality video).

2) Transfer analog video using a analog/digital converter like those form Pinnacle (Dazzle).

God no, the Pentium 4 was a complete piece of shit. If you want to buy a computer that old, look for an Athlon XP system, at the very least an Athlon XP 3000+.

I’m guessing you can just put it in your PC and let it transmit a wifi connection, then go to your Wii Settings and configure the wifi from there.

A Look at micro usb connector in I’m looking for a USB cable?

micro usb connector:

Question by Mr. Anthropic: I’m looking for a USB cable?
I’m looking for a USB 2.0 cable that has a USB-A connector at one end and (somehow) USB-A, USB-B, USB mini and USB micro-B connectors at the other. I don’t plan on using them all at once, obviously, but I wonder if such a cable exists. I’ve look around the Internet and so far, no love.

Answer by Cliffie
They make cheap little adaptor kits, but I’ve never seen an all-in-one cable – but you could always make your own. USB is just 4 wires + grounded shielding.
