there is always room for an external drive.
sticks are too puny for hd recording

I could be wrong ,but my f5s only supports 2.0 usb so not sure if a 3.0 will work.i'm looking at this at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3304702227...84.m1438.l2649

V3.0 USB is backwards Compatible with 2.0 you just wont get the added benefits unless your port was 3.0 compatible thats all

Mate don't think the standard usb on these is powerful enough for these types of drives... If you go for these it has to be desktop mains powered.

I have a external Seagate 500GB HDD, works perfect with my f5s

Right thats cool as i have read it to be that the USB powered portable drive wouldn't get the power that they needed to operate correctly. Also will your box now pause with the speech also??

[ALAN 1]

yes it will pause with no problems

usb 3.0 works much better in my old openbox,makes no sense but that is the only drive that I don't get the "drive too slow" error.

I would say that it's the speed of flash memory they use in the stick that's the issue. The fact that it's also USB 3 is a coincidence. The flash memory in the older USB 2 sticks wouldn't run at the full 480mbps speed that is available from the USB socket.

Alan is this a powered HDD or does it take it's power through the usb?

[ALAN 1]

yes it is powered, and should be turned on to get the full E.P.G
