Can I attach an external hard drive I want to save lots of videos because I will be editing lots of video

Yes. Two USB jacks to plug into. I use a Maxtor drive to backup every night. I also use a powered USB hub for a variety of connections.

I did buy an external hard drive just for this machine but remembered there was an issue with installation. From my many years of IT experiences, I didn't feel it was worth the time to troubleshoot so I kind of gave it up. I have not used this machine since my last review, instead my Samsung can do the same and much more. The convertible is a good feature tho on top of a inefficient machine, so it's a waste. Hope this helps

I use my external hard drive without problems, but my external DVD drive will not work properly -- keeps losing connection. Both are USB powered. My work around for the DVD drive is to attach it to my USB hub that has its own power cord.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

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

I think the.usb is only for backing up or downloading videos. It requires an internal hard drive

No you can't, must be external HD using the USB port. The quality is poor, the software is poor, I bought one and try to update the software and after that the HD player is not working anymore, do not buy it try another one.

Your could do if the Flash drive is big enough. Personally I use an external hard drive to back up data. and just use the flash drives for portable data. If you want to back up more than just data [software/ settings] then you would need disc replicating software.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

You can add an external hard drive if you have a compatible receiver which will give you DVR capabilities. I don't think you can use a DVR.

apparently it has no harddrive. You can easily purchase an SATA harddrive and it will work though. Search on Amazon for SATA harddrive you wont need a big drive I got a 320gb and works fine, more then plenty of space for tons of video 24/7

hello and thanks for your question and yes you will be able to add your files to the hard drive from your computer just make sure you turn on media sharing and that your computer picks up the micca player if you dont see it listed in devices do a rescan of devices as i just tested it my self and it worked

I am not an expert, but if you do video you will need a lot of storage. You might need 1T at least.

Yes and No...Yes; only if the external drive is a "bare drive" (not in an enclosure)...No; if the hard drive is enclosed in a case.

Roger, you can transfer the existing files to an extrnal drive via USB. I don't know if you can record directly to an external drive.

Yes you can add a hard drive (I put a 1 TB SATA) and then set it to record to it.

You need an external hard drive Aimee. You can find them on here for a low price. Make sure it's EXTERNAL only.

You can make any hard drive into an external drive with the right equipment. This is of course a 2.5 inch hard drive so you need to make sure the hardware you purchase is compatible. Honestly I would suggest something with much higher capacity for an external drive at least a terabyte. I use these for operating system install and the major programs.
