External Storage Problem HR24/200

I have a Hitachi G-Drive 4TB eSata RAID 0 storage device. I have attached this to my HR24/200 HD DVR and, for whatever reason, the unit will not recognize there is an external storage device attached. It continues to use the internal storage device. Why? Are there incompatible devices? I hooked the unit up to my notebook and noticed nothing unusual about the disk. Any suggestions to get this working with my equipment would be sincerely appreciated.

Not sure why you started another thread on this same question. See answers in your previous post ....

Bottom line is that the HD DVRs support a maximum of 2TB external drives, so you're lucky that your 4TB RAID 0 drive worked, at least for a while.
