Re: External Hardrive

Hi,

The problem is not to compare a HDD and an usb stick.

Clarks

.... and has a quarter of a HDD transfer speed )

I try 2 different HDD with my DM800 but no good result on HD channels, A flash stick give me nice result concern with speed of data transfer. May be I try with some cheap Hard drives

Format the HDD using your DM, before initializing it. The default file system for HDD from racks is FAT32, of course you have poor results!

@odysseas1991 you are right, HDDs are always much faster

hi guys
So: bit trial and error I say - I'm still looking myself for an acceptable working hdd ...

Like I said, format your HDD to ext3 or just format it using your DM.

Best get a high rpm HD with large cache, mind you they can get a bit toasty if the case has no fans. Size isn't so important so long as you aren't planning on storing the programs for ever. In fact a smaller drive will most likely give you better access time, will be quicker to format etc.

hi uttnls

may be true on the DM, but also depends on the box (brand/type) itself, mine must be formatted into FAT32 ...

I think this valid point discussed in some other thread in this same forum, That is also a issue for me or region with warm and humid atmosphere. HDD install in Box make STB much hotter without external Cooling aid
