As both Western Digital and Iomega have not made much news about these two devices, I had not realized they existed. They would be the best solution for you. Just make sure you convert the video into the correct format.

First of all, does the Motherboard support RAID? If so, you may need to get into the RAID BIOS and set it up. Make sure there's no critical data on the drive(s) you are mirroring or striping! Some systems have a GUI RAID utility as well for setting up the drive(s). Depending on the size of the drive(s) you're using it can take a while for the setup to complete.

If you go to Yamaha website,CVP 409 specs, it will tell you how to hook up each one of the interfaces (ie floppy, usb, external hd and mem stick) and this should apply to other models.

Hello! I use a Lenovo B50-50 laptop. I recently bought a SSD to replace my hard drive is a WD 5000 LPCX 2.5 5400 rpm of 500GB. I want to use it a external hard drive but it needs power supply. Why?

short answer because it needs it.
long answer
because the HDD needs 1 to 2 amperes of current to start the motor and you PC will not do that.
they do sell Y cables for USB. for 2 usb in to PC
and 1 usb end to HDD external case.
for more power.
but the external ac/dc 2amp pack is best.
it is best for using the external,drive on any PC
for the reasons stated (proof) below.
see this chart?, see why the top 4 will not work
if hdd draws 1amp startup (WD5000LPCX)as seen here

https://datasheet.octopart.com/WD5000LPCX-Western-Digital-datasheet-104459145.pdf


1.0amps startup current if above is your drive. spec.
there you go , a short and long answer, can go longer, easy. ask.

Hitachi 50hyt62u H can I add a removable drive as I have a slot in Back for one, and if so where do I get one

You should be able to buy an external USB drive (or thumb drive) at any electronics store.
You can connect a USB hard disk drive or USB
memory stick to your TV by using the USB inputs of
the TV. This feature allows you to play files stored in
a USB drive. 2.5" and 3.5" inch (hdd with external
power supply) external hard disk drives are supported.
IMPORTANT! You should back up your files before
making any connections to the TV set in order to
avoid any possible data loss. Manufacturer will not
be responsible for any file damage or data loss. It is
possible that certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3
Players) or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may
not be compatible with this TV.
Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices, is a
very hazardous operation. Do not repeatedly quickly
plug and unplug the drive. This may cause physical
damage to the USB player and USB device itself. Do
not pull out USB module while playing a file.
Media Browser Menu
You can play photo, music, and movie files stored
on a USB disk by connecting it to your TV and using
the Media Browser screen. To do this, perform the
following: Connect a USB disk to one of the USB
inputs located on the side of the TV.
You can connect two USB devices to your TV. If both
USB devices include music, picture or video files, USB
selection OSD will be displayed on the screen. The
first USB device connected to the TV will be named
as USB Drive1. Select a device by using up or down arrows
and press OK

Iintend to change my sata hard drive to a SSD hard drive.How do I format before change

When you install Windows on your new SSD hard drive you can then transfer data from your old hard drive using an USB hard drive adapter or install the old hard drive into an USB hard drive adapter case and use it as an USB external hard drive after you have transferred your data to your laptop.
When you connect the USB hard drive adapter to the laptop, the laptop will see it as an external storage device, you can then open the various folders anf files and copy them to your new hard disk.

this will not work by it self you will either need to buy a computer with media software that will support your hard drive or a DVR that will support you hard drive.

My HP Compaq nx5000 is not starting. So I have taken out the HDD and purchased a USB casing so that I can take the backup connecting the drive in other system. It is taking too much time to access the...

Due to the nature of the problem you describe, it appears that you could be experiencing an issue with the hard drive and/or the external USB case. Below I have listed 2 possible solutions to help resolve your issue.
A. External USB Case 3rd-party Driver
USB cases (depending on manufacturer and/or OS) will sometimes require a device driver to be loaded before the device (in this case, an external hard drive) will function at its maximum potential. From Windows XP and on, this has not been the case as the OS will provide its own driver but if you are using an older OS, this maybe required. If the external case brought a driver CD, perhaps installing could shorten the time to access your data on the drive.
B. Hard Drive Corruption/Failing
When a hard drive has become corrupt or is failing, the device tends to become sluggish and overtime completely unresponsive. When this occurs, the best solution is to backup your data as soon as possible and replace the failing hard drive before it dies completely and you cannot retrieve your data.
This is a common scenario and unfortunately, due to the manufacturing process of hard drives, the inevitable end to all hard drives once they have met their end of life.
SSD (Solid State Drives) are hard drives that are not manufacturer using metal platters but rather flash memory (such as that of USB flash drives, digital camera memory and cellular phones). These drives feature no moving parts, hence their failure rate is extremely low. Also, their lifespan is typically rated for tens of years with some industrial products rated with lifetime warranties and are able to withstand drops, falls and extremely low/high temperatures.
The trade off on HDD vs SSD is the cost, with HDD prices hovering around $.30-.50 per GB while SSD prices (while falling) are still around $1-4 per GB.

Insignia 4gb / video mp3 player

You'll need to erase the internal and external memory, then re-add all your files.

You can use Windows Explorer to transfer files to your insignia sport player. First, in the settings on your player, go to Settings, USB Mode, Connection Type and select File & Folder. Then, plug your player in to your USB cable. Windows XP should automatically find your player and make a new drive letter in Windows Explorer. Simply drag and drop your files from your c drive to the new drive for your player. You'll notice that when you delete the files on your new drive for your player that it doesnt remove them from your player. You'll need to use your player (settings, system, erase internal) to erase internal (and external), but after that when you add new files, they will be added to the player when it does the profiling after you disconnect the USB cable.
