Hello,
Long time lurker...
I will be setting up a new HR20 on Saturday. It is still in the box - has never been started.
I plan to immediately add an external drive to boost the space (Seagate Free Agent Pro 750 gb eSata drive which I will grab from best buy tonight and a SIIG 2eSata to eSata cable (CB-SA0211-S1) just ordered from Newegg)
My question: should i set up the HR20 using its internal drive first? or should I power it up the first time with the external drive powered and connected?
From what I have read it sounds like I can do the latter - just want to make sure and see if there is a downside to doing it this way.
