I've always used Sandisk flashdrives. A flash drive must be formatted FAT32 with the Aluratek. This limits file sizes to 4 GB, an hour show at 1080 will be in 2 different files. If a flashdrive is formatted NTFS, it will have occasional glitches with pixels. The sound sync is a chronic problem with the Aluratek, I've never found it to be on the actual recording , only on playback or watching or watching while recording. To fix the sync problem, the unit has to be shut off and restarted. It's handy to check where you are in the recording and use the go to feature to resume viewing at the same spot. Obviously, you don't want to do this while recording. Hard drives can be formatted NTFS and put the whole show in one file, convenient when you watch them on a computer. WD is my favorite hard drive brand but I've had a hard time getting some of them to work with the Aluratek. An older WD Elements portable works but a newer one will only work if plugged in while the Aluratek is on. I found WD Easystores don't work with the Aluratek, but a Seagate portable does. I think you are limited to a 2 or maybe 3 TB drive. It takes almost a minute for a hard drive to start recording instead of the few seconds for a flashdrive, so timer recordings have to be set a minute sooner.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
