Question 1

Will this device read/write credit card size smart cards?  I want to use it in a PC and/or Laptop, for secure user authentication

Accepted Answer

No. It does not read/write credit card size cards.

Question 2

Will this transfer data from an small external hard drive?

Accepted Answer

I don't think this is what you are looking for.  With this device, you plug in an SD or MicroSD card like you would have in a camera or phone, and then plug this device into a computer in order to access the information on  the SD card.  Basically, this makes the SD card work like a thumb drive.

To transfer data off of a small external hard drive, you probably would just plug the hard drive directly into a computer.
