External Hard Drive

[gheagy]

I'd appreciate suggestions for a Hard Drive for the Limesat Air HD. I'd prefer a 2 1/2". I know some Hard Drives are not compatible because of the formatting.

Thanks

Using Wd 500gb book, just make sure you format it Fat32 which the Limesat will do.

I'm hoping to find a portable external Hard Drive to avoid having to supply power to it.
It seems most Hard Drives come formatted NTFS. Will Limesat automatically reformat the drive to Fat32?

Problems with some external USB drive's is that the bigger ones will draw more DC power then the USB port on the receiver can supply, that is why one with its own external DC power supply is better, no worry's about draining the receivers power supply.
