I just purchased a Buffalo 2TB sata drive to expand my SA 8240HDC DVR capacity. I read a previous post by Vegas14 that said they were able to use this exact same drive. I formatted to NTFS and hooked it up to my DVR but I don't get the splash screen telling me it recognizes an external drive and asking me if I want to format it. But when I turn off power to the external drive or disconnect the eSATA cable, a screen pops up on the TV alerting me that an external drive was disconnected. What's the proper procedure for adding an external drive to the 8240HDC? Do I need an eSATA to SATA cable? Thanks!
