I ran out of USB connectors on my VU+ Solo SE V2.
I wanted to free one USB connector by using the eSATA connector for recording.
But for some odd reason it is very difficult to find these days an eSATA external HDD so I decided to build one using a special package.
Ordered the Fantec USB 3.0 / SATA 6G + eSATA aluminum enclosure.
FANTEC DB-ALU3e-6G Festplattengehäuse 8,9 cm SATA: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör
I was mislead in the Fantec product datasheet about the eSATA cable and thought that the enclosure comes without the eSATA cable and added one to the order.
Anyway, I received it this week and there are two cables for the USB 3.0 and eSATA plus power supply adapter.
Bought a 4TB WD internal HDD and it seems to work well. Soon I will have a free USB connector after moving all recodings to eSATA HDD.
If at any time in the future I upgrade to a new VU+ receiver that doesn't have an eSATA connector, I can use the USB 3.0 cable instead.
