Depends if you have Betamax or VHS VCR.
Most people have a PVR these days.
I think he is wondering what hard disk drive to use to enable the pvr function on his spiderbox 9000HD
I have no idea why he said vcr ( video cassette recorder ) LOL ( probably showing his age there )
It's connected via your USB so any type, that is in a USB caddy, should work, providing you format it, although I think there is a size limit.
Hopefully someone, who has one fitted, can recommend the largest you can use, I seem to recall a thread mentioning a 1.5TB hard drive but I can't remember if they got it working or not.
we know you meant hard drive , it was the vcr part that caused the thread to go off on a tangent
I do not think you meant vcr , but pvr , seeing as that is what it is called in the instruction manual
I would suggest you try an external powered usb connected hdd from a reputable manufacturer , or make your own using a sata hdd and buying a powered case from fleabay
anything of say 250 gig to 1tb should be fine , like say a 500 gig
using an unpowered one is likely to cause you problems , especially if its 3.5 inch and not 2.5 inch
The Western Digital Passport harddrives work very well with the Spiderbox. And they work straight out of the box. Just plug it in and away you go. TMULL
Yup, I have a 1tb western digital and a 500gb western digital, both formatted in fat32 and they are literally plug and play..........Regards N.
