USB Hard Drive 2.5 "(Inch)
2.5" USB hard drives are normally powered via the USB connector.
Check the power consumption of your hard drive (consult the hard drive
user manual), since the smart receivers provide a maximum current of 500
- 600 mA.
If the power consumption of the drive is higher, it must be supplied with
an external AC adapter.
If this is not possible, programmed recordings cannot be processed or
they are defective.

USB Hard Drive 3.5 "(Inch)
3.5" USB hard drives have their own power supply.
Therefore, we recommend hard drives of this size for the operation along
with smart receivers.

Check the Read and Write Speed
You can test the read and write speed of your USB storage device with
various programs.
In the support section of the website
www.

electronic.de
you can
find such a program to download.
The read and write speed of your storage device must be more than 12
MByte / s to ensure an error-free operation.

In addition, you can play files on NTFS-formatted disks.

called partitions.
