I read somewhere that these H2S USB ports are not powerful enough to support an external HDD for long.
I'm pretty sure I read it here but can't find anything about it now, typically. I have a powered USB hub I could use but to be honest It is more useful on my PC but I'd rather not kill my H2S if it is going to stress it.
Has anyone had an issue?
On a slightly different subject, I started off with a new W D pa$$port HDD plugged into the powered hub earlier, but the menu to format it was missing in settings where I could see it before with a small thumbdrive mounted earlier.
I inserted it directly into the back of the H2S but the storage menu is still missing! However it works fine for recording as I tested it but it has NOT been automatically formatted.
I can see all of the W D files and software that come with a their new drives via Samba on my phone.
I can also play the recordings downstairs on another telly via DNLI, which is kinda cool as I can record C-4 HD upstairs and watch it downstairs when I leave S*Y in a couple of days and swap to the Fr33S@t PVR.
Just a bit surprised it works at all without ext formatting. Whoosh infinity btw.
