How the eSATA Drive Works with Your DVR
An eSATA drive is an extension of the internal hard drive of the DVR; it is not an
archival device. Programs recorded to the eSATA drive can be played back on
the DVR originally connected to the eSATA drive. For instance, you cannot record
programs to the eSATA drive, remove the drive, and then connect it to a computer or
a different DVR for playing back programs.
Some programs will record to the DVR internal hard drive and some will record to
the eSATA drive, depending on the space available. The DVR selects the drive that
has enough space to record the entire program; a program is not split between the
internal and external drives.
