I chose this camera mainly for its eSATA connections well above lUSB2. 3 LUSB serve me when I change my PC. Hard drive installation is very easy via the plastic shims, two screws on the case and that is ok. Equipped of a hard drive Western Digital WD Green Desktop WD40EZRX 4TB backup for this is tip top. I copy all my family films currently mounted with the Pinnacle Studio app (1.16 TB of data), the transfer of 110 MB / second an estimated 2:50 mins Windows through eSata interface 3 Gbs / sec, thunder !! !! Laspect brushed metal aesthetic is finished, the connection is complete. The price / quality ratio is excellent, I am very satisfied with this purchase. I will make a comment update for flows for copying smaller files such as family photos.
