I tried everything with this drive including. (Comes with fat32 file system) Erased all files. (All reformatting was done as an external drive on a PC) Reformatted the drive, Reformated as NTFS, Removed all partitians. I removed the drive cover, and reset the drive jumpers to set Spread Spectrum Clocking enabled. But same result in all cases. This case holds a WD5000AAJS drive. The error message would be that the drive has malfuntioned, and shoudl check power and connection cables. I tried on two seperate 8300HD units with identical results. When the drive is disconnected, it would say drive has been disconnected, - reconnect and restart DVR. Westerm Digital also sells another version called the DVR expander for the same price. I have not tried the expander.

Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support.

The My Book Home is not supported on a DVR. This drive has an internal circuit board that will interfere with communication between the drive and the DVR so it should only be used on a computer.

Sincerely,
