    Portable HDD vs External HDD

    Hey guys

    I am thinking about buying either a portable or external hardrive for my zgemma H7. I know it has an internal HDD slot but i have a lot of movies and stuff to store. (internal 2.5inch are quite expensive)

    Want to get like 2tb or 4b portable oe external hardrive that stays plugged into my receiver.

    What would be better to get?

    Yh i agree a nas system would be nice but i dont really need it because each of my receivers are all being NFS shared with samba installed. Just wanting to know what would be preferable with these enigma 2 receivers. (portable or external)

    Thanks

    I use a NAS and bonus is that I only have a 8gb usb drive in all my receivers for picons epg etc. All receivers movie path and record location are on NAS shares.
    Initially more expensive but seems a lot easier than sharing all hdd's with every other receiver.
