External USB Hard Drives?

[AT&TDishman]

Sorry if this has been asked. I have been reading the interesting news from Scott about possible USB external hard drive access for the 211/411 and 622. Where do you buy such hard drives and will they work like the hard drives in the receivers in that you will be able to record more than one program at a time; watch one program and record one, etc. etc. Also, what will these hard drives cost?

Thanks for the link. I am now more confused than ever about what hard drives will work. or not. I guess I will wait for Charlie to lease me one for a one-time fee of $299 and the one-time access fee--NOT!!!

Some will say its overkill, but if you buy a 7200rpm drive with a 16mb cache, youll be fine.

Something like a West Dig Caviar SE16.
