 +  * With a paid subscription the FLEX can record shows to a hard drive connected to the FLEX's built-in USB port. 
 +  * The USB port can also act as an extended buffer for pausing live TV in the HDHomeRun app, and that pause-buffer feature is free to all users. 
 +  * Third party DVR services such as Plex, Channels, Jellyfin, Emby, and others, will not use the USB port on the FLEX for DVR storage. Please consult the documentation for those programs about their DVR server requirements. 
 +  * We recommend avoiding USB "​thumb"​ or "​stick"​ drives, as they are normally not designed for prolonged use. 
 +  * Solid State Drives (SSDs) are supported, but not required. A mechanical spinning hard disk drive (HDD) will easily suffice for recording four simultaneous channels at the same time. 
 +  * We recommend at least 500 GB or larger, which will provide approximately 150 hours of DVR. 
 +  * The FLEX will work with a max of 17.6 TB. Larger drives can be used, but the FLEX will only use 17.6 TB of space on those drives. 
 +  * The USB port will support 5 volts up to 1.8 amps of power, which should be enough for most bus-powered USB hard drives
