Never heard of that one b4 m8, I can record multiple HD channels at once with an internal drive.

speed limitations of USB is most likely the cause, consider an internal Hard Drive

Is it a clone ?, does it have it's own power supply ?,
might need its own power supply, just a guess :-)

no,a powered hard drive is better than a usb powered as there are limits to what it can do.
