External hard Drive for Dish VIP 211K

[wtmtnhiker]

Can anyone share a link to an external hard drive that will work with my Dish VIP 211K receiver? I've been looking but haven't found one that says it is externally powered, it also has to have no more than 1TB storage. If anyone has one and can send me a link to it on Amazon or someplace please do. Thanks.

I bought this (2Tb) in 2015 for a VIP211K. It did have the external power adaptor.

I used an external case and a hard drive from an old laptop. You can get a "Y" USB cable that divides the data from the power and I plugged the power side into a USB charger that plugs into a 110 outlet.

You could use most any hard drive with the $5 Y cable.

I got a one with external power at best Buy but before I was using one without power and it was working.

I went to the local Best Buy and found the one I use. I don't remember the make or model but Best Buy had a couple of externally powered external hard drives.

A conventional HD can be put into a powered housing, I have two of these and there may be o more advanced ones of these.
