So, about a year ago, we cancelled DirecTV, and they told us the equipment was too old to return, and we should trash it.
I just came across the stuff and pulled it apart to put the PCBs and metals into recycling. Wasn't expecting this.
Does anyone know, off the top of your head, if a "Video HDD" is functionally different from a regular HDD? Or do I have to go and find my USB/SATA adapter stuff? :-)

@JohnS_AZ@mastodon.social those should be fully comparable with regular data HDDs. Their emay be some differences like read write speed, cache, and RPMs but if you just need a storage device, it'll be fine.
