Aten USB 3.0 Sharing Switch: 4 Port
Question about Aten USB 3.0 Sharing Switch: 4 Port
Can you also use it to switch an external hard disk between 2 computers (dynamically)?
The question is what exactly you mean by "dynamic".
Of course, you must first unmount the ext. HD on the currently connected computer and then switch to the other computer. Otherwise, the file system on the ext. HD will be corrupted in no time and your data will be lost or endangered.
If you take this into account, switching over is no problem.
Yes, it can be switched manually via a switch. Then 1 computer is connected to the hard disk (or printer, or scanner, etc.) at a time. The switch is external to the box on an approx. 1m long cable. I have been using it for a long time.
