[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1029539, member: 356020"] To be honest, I am not entirely sure that I will ever really go down the CAM route - the FTA channels on 28.2e offer so much decent content, at the moment, that I am recording more quality stuff than I can watch. It is great that you two mentioned this as I was going to ask about hardrives. The VU+Solo4k seems to come with an internal space for a 2.5" HDD only - I originally thought that this was an odd choice but have read that it helps to keep noise and heat to a minimum. Furthermore, modern 2.5" HDDs seem to easily handle multiple HD recordings and streams. I am going to have my E2 box connected to my network with a NAS, which contains 10.5TB. I was tempted to record directly to it but I think I am asking for trouble with the setup. I think it is going to be easier with a directly attached hard drive - giving me the option of either directly streaming from the E2 box or transferring them to the NAS. What 2.5 (or USB 3.0) hard drives do you think I should consider? I swear by WD Reds but have heard that you can buy HDDs that are especially for DVR use - is that just a marketing ploy or worth considering? [/QUOTE]
