Connecting the 8300HDC to an External SATA Hard Disk Drive (optional), continued

How the SATA Drive Works with Your 8300HDC

Recordings are balanced between the internal hard drive on the 8300HDC and the external SATA drive as follows:

•A recording is not split between an internal and external hard drive.

•The 8300HDC automatically stores complete programs using the following space available logic:

-If the external SATA drive has more space available, the SATA drive stores the next recording.

-If the internal hard drive on the 8300HDC has more space available, the internal hard drive stores the next recording.
