 The HDHomeRun FLEX, SCRIBE, and SERVIO models are able to act as DVR storage devices:
-  * **[[:FLEX|HDHomeRun FLEX]]** - The HDHomeRun FLEX has a USB port that will allow a customer to add their own USB hard drive. With a hard drive, the FLEX will operate the same as a SCRIBE model, with both tuning and DVR handled by that unit. While the SCRIBE comes with one year of DVR service, the FLEX requires a separate DVR service purchase. \\<callout type="info">**Setting up the USB hard drive on the FLEX:**

-  * **[[:SCRIBE|HDHomeRun SCRIBE]]** - The HDHomeRun SCRIBE includes both the tuning hardware of a normal HDHomeRun device along with an internal hard drive and the DVR storage software. In addition to recording from its own internal tuners, the SCRIBE can also record from other HDHomeRun devices on your network. This combination unit can be a good starting point for new users, or be used to expand an existing HDHomeRun device cluster when you want to add tuners and DVR storage at the same time.
-  * **[[:SERVIO|HDHomeRun SERVIO]]** - For users who already have existing HDHomeRun tuners, or who want to add more storage space and/or redundancy to their DVR system, the SERVIO contains a large hard drive and runs our DVR storage software.
