14 DAY TRIAL // Hard drives specifically made for DVRs, and products with similar purpose, aren't all that common, but they aren't unheard of either.
In fact, I-O Data recently introduced this very sort of storage device, called AVHD-PxU.
With a capacity of 500 GB or 1 TB, it is meant to serve DVRs and smart TVs.
After all, those items may be able to record and play files, but they can't store it in thin air.
The newcomer uses the USB 2.0 interface to connect to host machines and can be installed behind TVs and such, thanks to its mounting holes.
Finally, I-O Data's creation measures 79 x 23 x 134 mm (3.11 x 0.90 x 5.27 inches) and weighs 200 grams.
The prices are of 13,125 JPY ($161 / 123 Euro) and 17,640 JPY ($216 / 165 Euro) for 500 GB and 1 TB, respectively.
