Can a external hard drive be connected to this for media storage

The short answer is ... 'no'. As DrDon explained previously, the device is basically a capture device that converts the output video signal from your TV, XBox, etc into a file that can be saved on the connected computer using the software that comes with the device. You can then take that file and copy it from the computer to an external drive if you wish ... or you can record directly to an external drive connected to the computer which is actually how I do it.

This device, though named "PVR," is not in itself a recording device. All this device does is convert HD analog (from a cable box, for example) to digital and sends it to a computer via USB for recording. So, no, you can't connect a hard drive to IT, but you can connect all the hard drives you wish to the computer you install it on.

This can only if the harddrive itself didn't die. It comes with cables so you do not have to buy any cables. So if you think your Sata cables or something elese went wrong this may be an opition. I used this because my old external harddrive pcb board died but the HDD was fine so I got this put it in and it was good to go. It is the cheapest option I hope it works but if it doesn't then your HDD died.

yes, put the hard drive in an external enclosure to convert it into an external hard drive

Only if the TV has a USB port, which is unlikely. An alternative is to connect the drive to a computer that can network or connect directly to the TV.

I am not that familiar of this type of components, all I know is that this is an external hard drive. Sorry, I am not of great help to you.

no because it's too small, however, there are three slots for an optical drive. The external hard drive slots can be accessed from the outside either so there is no point placing a optical drive there.The optical drive cannot for into an external hard drive slot.

There is a port for a mini usb cable so you can add then back up an external hard drive.

Only if your external HDD has a Display Port connection. This is similar to, but not the same, a HDMI connection.

If it's SATA to SATA yes. You need to do a Google search to find out what the specs are on your ps4. Here's a starting point http://www.idganswers.com/question/10898/can-i-add-an-external-hard-drive-to-a-ps4

You can do that but the drive rebuilding process takes a long time and this unit isn't hot-swappalbe so you would have to shut down and open the case. You can attach external drives and back up files to them.

Yes, there is a USB port attached to the unit for you to connect a USB hard drive to. Obviously, the videos need to be in the supported format.

I think so but I am not sure. I believe you can hook any USB external drive to it.

yes, but but external drives suck up too much power for most hubs, like this one. Mouse, keyboard work fine, so try to connect external drives directly to computer.

No, it's intended as a desktop drive, meaning the external power supply is needed. But it's worth checking out LaCie's portable HDs. I have a 250GB Porsche-designed one that's been a workhorse for years.

I think it has to be connetced to your phone in order to backup. I don't have info regarding use with external hard drive. Sorry.

You are supposed to be able to do that, but I have had many problems with this unit. Even just one hard drive plugged into this didn't work properly. It would eject the external hard drive all the time. It work fine in the beginning, then suddenly stopped working.

If you mean usb drive then no. This device only supports micro SD for external memory.
