Yes.
You unplug the AC cord for DVR, connect an eSATA drive, plug in the power cord for the external drive, turn on the drive, plug the DVR power cord back in, and the DVR restarts using only the external drive.

Expand capacity
Would you mind giving me the number off the external drive? Thank you, David

There is a long thread about using eSATA drives with different dvrs. Not all drives work with all dvrs, so check the thread to find out what works with what.

I use a Seagate 1.5 TB with NO problems, I used a 750 for several years.
Seagate seem to be reliable.
Make sure you get a ESATA cord as well, most don't come with them in the box.Let the Urban Era Begin !!!
