Sorry, I was not clear, I meant can I use both at the same time as storage...still not clear..lol The system drive is IDE which I am not going to touch. The storage drive is IDE I would like to add another storage drive, would this have to be IDE as well or could I use SATA ie... can I have 2 different storage formats running at the same time or is it a situation that I can run the system using the IDE drive but storage must be either IDE or SATA but not both together. clear as mud

Hi again, This Dowshu DVR has 2 IDE drives, one for system and the other for storage, is it possible to add SATA drives as storage or would this involve some sort of configuration. The case contains 2 racks inside apparently one for IDE and the other for SATA. All advice welcome/ Cheers Rod

That's great, thanks for your help. Rod

The quick reply is greatly appreciated. I feel better already.

Hi, not really stupid but new to DVR's. I have a Dowshu 7000 (i think), it has a 320 GB hard Drive and I need to add another couple of drives. Do I just turn it off, put in a multiple ribbon, connect HDD's and restart. I tried reading the 89 page manual and it mentions you can have extra storage but no mention on what to do and I emailed DOWSHU twice and got an automated reply and no follow up. Thanks Rod
