To be able to pause live TV and to record programs directly via my Samsung TV, I first had a USB stick. This one didn't work fast enough. At Coolblue she then advised me to try this hard drive: it works perfectly!

I chose the 500GB because it is intended for playing movies on the TV. So movies on it, connect WD to the TV and play. And this works like a charm! The first batch of films was about 100GB in size and it took him an hour or 2 for that, but that's a matter of switching on and success. Connecting to the TV afterwards was also a breeze because of the USB cable, plugging in and TV recognized it immediately. I fastened it with Velcro and because it is so small it stays in place. So the WD is very workable, light and easy to install. Transferring files to the WD is also very easy, but I think that's the case with any hard drive these days.
