Digital camera reviews of Iomega 34508 eSATA DVR 1TB Expander Drive
Digital camera Review: A couple extra steps, but otherwise flawless...
Summary: 5 Stars
This Iomega DVR expander drive was easy to install, but the manual leaves a little to be desired if, like me, you take things literally. The skimpy instructions leave the impression that you MIGHT lose any data (programs) you have stored on your DVR, but I think it's only in case of accidental unplugging. In any case, the actual connecting of the device is simple. You turn off your Scientific Atlanta DVR and unplug the back. Included data cable from DVR back to device back, and power cord from device back to your household outlet. There's a stand you can use to prop up the device. I laid mine flat without the stand. Once you reconnect the power to the DVR, the device will ask to be rebooted. Here's where I worked up a sweat: first the DVR rebooted. Then a blue box came up on the screen asking for the drive to be formatted. This was mentioned in the instructions. I pressed A for yes and waited for another reboot. So far, so good. Then, when the DVR box had rebooted, the same blue box popped up and asked for the device to be reformatted again. Again I pressed A for yes, and waited. This made me nervous -- why the extra reboot? Then the reboot was over and the same blue box popped up again. Reluctantly, I pressed A for yes again, but this time nothing happened -- no reboot. I pressed the green List button on my remote and was surprised (but happy) to see that my 95% full DVR now showed 11%. And it's been a full week now of flawless operation. As far as I can tell, the DVR box manages the Iomega exactly as it's supposed to. All remote functions work. No program data was lost. The extra reformat commands were surprising and not at all covered as possibilities by the manual, but I didn't panic and all was well. I would say the instructions should refer to possible extra steps, but otherwise the device earns an A+.
