Can I connect my 1 Tb external hd to my ipad?
I have a 1TB WD External HD (USB) and would like to use the CCK to connect to my iPad (original). But when I attempt it, no go. Anyone have solution outside jailbreaking the iPad?
iPad, iOS 5.1

You can not connect a hard drive to an iPad. Period.
A USB one ... I am finding so,but there are those out there that you can use (see http://reviews.cnet.com/network-storage/seagate-goflex-satellite/4505-3382_7-346 72408.html?part=cnet&subj=Seagate+GoFlex+Satellite#reviewPage1) And many others. I was hoping to use the technology I have to do this.
The seagate does seem to have one limitation, you can only pull data from it, can't put data on it.
Actually that is true of any USB drive connected via the CCK.
True. But the goflex isn't USB only, it can be a wifi external harddrive. ANd apparently only supports streaming from, not transferrng to.
I was only remarking about devices connected using the CCK. Wireless devices may be usable with third-party apps.
