[ashutto20]

Looking to get wd my book av 2tb ehd

http://store.westerndigital.com/sto...d.13092300/catid.59262300/categoryID.59262600

Came across this for 109.99...it does not say av though on the description...is this the same thing ???





Edit...Thanks Rickdee...fixed link

Your link is dead so no one can look at the product on the WD website.

I think this is the one you want for Dish: http://store.westerndigital.com/sto...d.13092300/catid.59262300/categoryID.59262600

Try posting a link to the product page instead of to the cart. No one else can see what is in your cart.

You'd be just as well off with a regular WD Elements EHD. Nothing notable about that one other than a higher price.

What's the difference if any??? Will the elements one do the same thing then

Thanks for the response

So I'm guessing that the av and elements name in the title has little impact on which ehd is chosen ???

If it's no biggie I wouldn't mind saving 20 bucks...but I don't mind spending the extra $20 if it's worth it...I just want to move movies from my hoppers to the ehd

Spend the $20 on something else.

It's not.

The USB connection is the limiting factor. Pretty much any drive will outpace the connection. If it's not for a 211, the EHD isn't stressed at all. It sits idle 95% of the time, and when not idle, its usually just a single, continuous read or write operation.

Wd Elements makes a fine ehd for Dish receivers,so does the WD my book.

I've been using a WD elements of my 722 and then Hopper for years now and it works wonderfully....

 

[ashutto20]

One last question

can I transfer from one hopper to the ehd and then go upstairs and plug in the ehd and transfer movies from the 2nd hopper

And be able to see the movies from both hoppers ???

 

[JM42]

Hopper1 can not see the EHD connected to Hopper2. The EHD can physically be moved from Hopper to Hopper, but is only viewable from the Hopper it is connected to and the Joeys linked to that Hopper.

Ok i get the but if I transfer a movie from hopper 2 to the ehd and then plug it back into hopper 1 will I be able to see that movie that is on the ehd now and not hopper 2 ???

Sorry for all the questions...I appreciate all the answers

 

[JM42]

Yes.

 

[ashutto20]

While the dvr is recording shows...right now ptat is recording and 2 more shows so all 3 tuners are being used...

Can you transfer movies that all ready recorded to the ehd ???

 

[Bobby]

yes...

 

[ashutto20]

Is this a bug...

When I scroll down my dvr events to check what needs to be transfered...it stops a third of the way down and I can't see all my recordings

Any reason for this ???

 

[thomasjk]

This is a bug that has been reported here many times.

 

[ashutto20]

I noticed once I start moving items that the ones.from the bottom are showing up

Should this say "Any powered WD Elements will work"?
