I have a Formuler 1 box which I have added an external HDD which now only works intermittently. I initially thought there was something wrong with HDD and got a new one but still had problems. I then read a post on here which suggested that external HDDs should be externally powered which I guess is my problem.
I mainly use the HDD for scheduled backups and flashing with only the very occasional programme recording. So could I replace the HDD with a memory stick and would that solve my problems? And if so, what would be the maximum size to use?
