Hard drives formatted for use with DISH receivers are formatted with (I believe, a proprietary DISH) format but are there variations of that format?
or is each drive coded to operate only with the receiver that was used format it?
ie, is a 722 formatted drive different than a 522/625, etc.?
..an internal hard drive formatted differently than an external?
I'm wondering about possible drive swapping options (only on owned equipment, of course). For example, if possible, it might be useful to pull a 120 gig drive previously connected as an external to one's 722 and pop it into an unused 625.
I think I once read somewhere that there are size limitations; for example, though a 2 TB can be used externally with a 722K, I don't believe the full capacity of one can would be fully utilized if installed internally. I may be wrong about this. I can look into this later if it's even an option. Thoughts?
Thanks
