How the SATA Drive Works with Your 8300HD
Recordings are balanced between the internal hard drive on the 8300HD and the external SATA drive as follows:
•A recording is not split between an internal and external hard drive.
•The 8300HD 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 8300HD has more space available, the internal hard drive stores the next recording.
