securitymonster 0 Posted January 13, 2007 I'm not familiar with that unit so I can't help out that much but your CD/RW is only 700mb capable, that means its not ideal to "archive" onto a CD. Your most likely going to get no more than about 30 minutes worth of video onto your CD. If I looked up the model correctly, it looks like it has USB 2.0, this means you should be able to hook up a portable USB hard drive to the DVR and archive to that. You can buy USB hard drives for less than $100 nowadays. Let us know how it all works out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandcorp 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Plese be aware not all DVR's that state USB 2.0 can handle any flash/hard drive. Some actually will only handle 32MB and lower flash drives. Also, the USB 2.0 may be there for admin and bios upgrade purposes only. So, before you waste your money I would check with Samsung. If you can explain a little more in depth on how the DVR is not burning, that would help. thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
