If you can get the dreambox to recognize the hard drive there should be no problem doing what you suggest. The only thing is that the harddrive will always be spinning while you are running an image off of it.

The nice thing about a flash drive is that its solid state (no moving parts).

There is also a heat problem, the usb is better (and usually) faster

You can install the disk inside the 7020.
The procedure is simple and covered in the manual.

That is a better way, then the box will control the time before the disk gets powered on and off, so it does not spin all the time.
