from AVS forums which is a great place for info on this DVR: *" Rear also has an SATA port for connecting an eSata external drive (up to 1TB) for expanded storage. This replaces the USB external storage function of the older models. USB externals cannot be used on the 3012. You must use a 7200rpm / 16mb buffered drive. User should avoid "green" hard drives and many people have had bad experiences with them due to variable speed rates and power saving features of the drives." http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1109524 I have the 1TB Lacie drive on two different 3012's and they work great.

I am also using the WD30EFRX drives and I would recommend them based on my experience. They have worked well for me. Their performance is good and they're quiet. They're designed for NAS and they're priced well.

I purchased the external drive and had nothing but problems. I took the hard disk out the enclosure installed in a desktop computer and it works fine.

I have the WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 with Auto and Cloud Backup - Black (WDBZFP0010BBK-NESN) and it works great with the Inateck.

I bought 2 of those. One never worked. The other one warms up when transfering medium size file. I am sur that 64kb of data will jam and burn that little device.

I am looking for an external hard drive to back up my entire lap top hard drive, in case of failure. Is the Passport Essential the unit I am looking for?

It was but since then I've lost all my pictures that I took for over two years. I would highly recommend the western digital external hard drive. I've used them for over ten years and no problems at all. I just bought another one two days ago "the WD passport w. Auto cloud backup. It's about the same price plus they give you cloud back up. Can't. Beat this company that been around for 30 years.

I have the Seagate 2tb and I also run Windows 7 and it just asked me to upload an out of date app but it works. That's all I can tell you.

All three Canvio external hard drives, including this one, came with NTI Backup Now EZ v3. Will only work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. Just a note: I did not install the backup software that came with the drives. It has a poor reputation based on all the comments and reviews I found on the internet. I went ahead and purchased a full-blown version of NTI's backup software, as I had used it before on my previous PC. I would look online for backup software designed for the mac. http://mac-backup-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

I have a "very old" External Hard drive...not this make/model...I turn it on once/quarter to backup recent files...it's probably over 3 years old. Recently, I bought one of these WD Elite 500GB models...my plan is to backup on two externals...in case one fails. I know this seems lame, but it is the only way to ensure everything sticks around. Seems like its worth the extra $100.

B. Meerdink, neither of the two information you brought are backed by the links you posted.I've been searching the internet for the same info D. Wong wants, I'm about sure there is no document on WD's website that will state which is the internal drive interface of "My Passport Essential" products. This is something only reviewers who have opened their "My Passport Essential" drives can tell us. Do you happen to own one of those? Have you opened it up?? Has anyone out there?

Yes ... but I have had too many troubles with this brand and wouldn't recommend it. Seagate, WD are more reliable drives.

Sorry, I cannot answer your technical question. Perhaps you could access the G-Technology G-Drive website. It may provide the specifications, technical information and applications for your external hard drive.

Buy a hard drive with a LAN port built into it. Western digital makes several at decent rates. Also do a search for "LAN external hard drive"

I have this exact hard drive - purchased it this weekend. It needs to be formatted FAT 32. It works perfectly with my Mac and PC.
