Connecting to external hard-drive via USB

[belgrade]

Righto,

As the title suggests, the aim of this thread is to highlight the recorders that can connect to a hard-drive via the USB port, and transfer/play files such as divx.

Below are the recorders that I am aware of:

Samsung 855 (has many issues)
Samsung 853 (not sure if this has USB. could somebody confirm)
Philips 5570/ 5520 (not widely available yet - can it connect to hard drive, or just flash drive?)
Pioneer (not sure of model numbers. somebody mentioned 400 & 600 series. can anyone confirm model numbers?)

If you are aware of any others, please add to this list. Thanks
