The above is only straightforward if the data cannot be written to
while the device is accessible. IOW not in the case of a PVR,
unless all recording facilities are disabled when it's attached to
an external device.
Not true.
Oh dear, I'm starting to see a pattern here...
The last time I plugged in my USB data stick it began automatically
synchronising
No it didn't. Your PC began doing the reading & writing. At all times
the data stick was passive.
Nope.
my audio files and at the same time I told it synchronise my
documents, while also letting me browse directories and open files
already on it. So there is no reason why a PVR could not read and
write to the disk at the same time as the PC.
AIUI That requires a totally different device class, but I suggest you
ignore me as clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about.
No you don't.
My data stick can read and write at the same time and appears as a removable drive so it only needs to appear as that to do that job. Are you so naive to think that all those USB portable hard drives can only read, and write independently at different times and need a complete system reboot in between to do the other. They'd be almost completely useless if they did that. They do both at the same time because they have memory caches and fast data access like every other decent data recording device including PVR's since they can playback programmes on the drive while recording.
If USB will slow it down then use Ethernet.
USB is a complete networking standard; Ethernet is only a physical &
data link layer technology. Though fwiw speed shouldn't be an issue
unless you meant to compare usb against say tcp/ip over gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet is faster and can take longer cable runs. What's more you can connect a single device to more that one computer at the same time which you cannot do with USB so how can USB be a networking standard when it can't network ?
Bye bye.
Yes bye bye.
Why is it that people who use these forums think they are the worlds greatest experts on stuff they know noting about. Why not take the advice of Socrates. The man who is wise is the man who knows he knows nothing.
