I just bought a WD Passport 250 GB USB external drive and my 622 does not seem to recognize it. This drive is very compact and uses the USB port for power which is why I got it to begin with. Is that the issue? Is there a list of drive requirements such as power sourse, rpm's etc. posted somewhere by DISH or someone else so when I get a replacement drive, it will actually work? Thanks!
External Hard Drive Unsupported?

There has been very little success reported with USB powered notebook drives. You need one with it's own power supply.
What KAB says. A friend of mine tried a USB powered drive and it was not recognized. He plugged it into a powered USB Hub and the hub to the DVR and works like a champ.
