That said if you added to it an external hard drive 2.5 you find at good prices with a reader / digital recorder. Because yes, it records TNT with or without the Timeshift function, programmable course it ''s good (not the Timeshift) plus he reads to his mp3 AVI (DivX 4/5 and XviD), photographs (display ultra fast) and mp3. You can of course use a 3.5 external drive but it will turn it on and off manually or USB flash drive to save big size (about 2 GB per hour). In fact I can not do without me (Timeshift, which foot). And unlike a recorder / player I can walk my hard drive.
