Hi I have this product:
https://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/network-storage/business-storage-4-bay-nas/
I want to use it as direct usb storage becuase the xfer rate is only 11MBs using ethernet.
It has two usb 3.0 ports which I think are normally for additional storage or printers but it seems like there should be a way to connect to a pc for direct usb file xfers. When I spoke to a seagate rep they said they were sure its possible to connect via USB for direct file xfers but they didnt explain how. I dont see any options in the web interface. I already tried connecting via usb once but nothing happened - disk management didnt see anything.
So my first question is whether its possible to use the USB ports for direct file xfers.
My second question is whether I can get a better xfer rate than 11MB/s. Its just a simple home network with a 4 port router/modem.
Thanks.
