Create Your Own Powerful eSATA DVR Expander

UPDATED: 9/25/10 This is a drive to create your own eSATA DVR Expander with Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU-BK Case Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU - BK 3.5" External Hard Drive Enclosure SATA-USB 2.0 and eSATA (Black Onyx). Or better yet, by no means, just add: 1) eSATA-SATA Cable Connection Depot eSATA-SATA Round Cable (Blue, 3ft ) 2) Molex CG Power Supply 110VAC to 12VDC 4 Pin Molex Power Adapter 3) SATA Power Adapter Cable Optional Equipment: 4) Vantec Aluminum Heatsink Hard Drive Cooler Model #Hdc-502A Heatsink with 2 fans 5) Silicone -Protective Case Hard Drive Protector 3.5 Drive Case Add 120 hours of HD recording to your DVR by connecting to the case with eSATA Cables included with Vantec Reliable, glitch-free HD recording with Scientific A tlanta DVR – SA8300HD, SA8300HDC, SA8240HDC when not using TWC Navigator ODN software. Reliable, high-performance dual-processor drive. The drive runs pretty cool considering it spins 24/7. I have been using this disc for over 7 months and often record two programs simultaneously without a single error that was not part of the original program signal. I also have one of these drives connected to my networked PC via eSATA and use it for backups. UPS and NAS. The transmission speed via eSATA is very high. Backups no longer take several hours. I love these slices. Since writing this review I now have 6 WD Caviar Black hard drives.
