    Can anyone offer there opinion as to which HDD would be best for my HD FOX-T2, I would prefer a pasport un powered type, but how do I find out if it will work on my box, i.e is there enough power to run it????

    I have used both WD passport and Seagate Freeagent portable HDD's in the past on my HD T2.

    I was going to build a usb powered switch to turn off the power on my externally powered 1TB drive used with my HD FOX T2.

    After some research I found that you can now get usb switched power saving extensions for PC's. I have ordered one and intend to use a unpowered hub to get the 5V DC from the HD FOX T2.

    I will post if it works (could be handy for permanently attached archive drives for both the Foxsat-hdr and the HDR FOX T2)
