How the eSATA Drive Works with Your DVR

An eSATA drive is an extension of the internal hard drive of the DVR; it is not an archival device. Programs recorded to the eSATA drive can be played back on the DVR originally connected to the eSATA drive. For instance, you cannot record programs to the eSATA drive, remove the drive, and then connect it to a computer or a different DVR for playing back programs.

Some programs will record to the DVR internal hard drive and some will record to the eSATA drive, depending on the space available. The DVR selects the drive that has enough space to record the entire program; a program is not split between the internal and external drives.
