External hard drive connections
I just purchased a 1tb ext HD that has 2 inputs: 1-USB, 1- eSATA. Question: Can I use the Ext HD
for 2 applications:
1) use to backup my PC and
2) as my Hard Drive for my 20 series HD-Dvr?
I have read the posts here and am aware that you cannot disconnect the esata from the dvr and then connect to the pc as it will corrupt the formatting. But, Can I connect the USB from the hard drive to my pc and the esata to the dvr to accomplish my goal without corrupting formats or ruining the hard drive??
