I have both a 9200T & 9150T and am currently making the HDD/USB cable up to attach to the 9200T so I can dump recordings quicker to a PC.
I would like to do the same on the 9150T. Can anyone let me know if I can use the same technique to access the Humax hard drive?
Thanks

It won't be exactly the same technique as the 9150 has a SATA drive. I think what people have done is use a SATA male to female cable eg Link to Maplin SATA cable to make the SATA port accessible from outside the case. There may well be a better way of doing it. I would note that the later HDR-FOX T2 makes all this much easier as standard and even easier still with the custom firmware.

You will also need an internal power cable to supply the power to the internal drive. This is because the internal drive uses a moulded plug to connect the data and the power cable. Or you could saw the moulded plug into two to separate the power and the data connectors, but if there is additional accidental damage you would need to source a replacement for that cable!
