How to connect e-sata

[iucpa]

I have an HR20, and have read about connecting an e-sata. I'm a little dumb, so is this simply an external HD that will enable higher capacity?

I apologize, but if there's a better thread dealing with all the specifics, if someone could point it out (a search didn't find it for me), please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi iupca,
Yes eSATA drives can be connected to the HR-20 to increase capacity. Many have had success with a 750Gb drive which gives you about double the capacity. An eSATA drive does take over as the main drive though, as you cannot use both the internal and eSATA external drives at the same time. It's one or the other.
