Just plug it in without the need for a power supply!Buffalo Stick SSD allows you to record TV quickly

Not as much as buying a recorder, but I want to record on TV.

If I chose to solve the problem, it was really easy.

Since my home and living room were renewed to a large screen 4K model, the TV experience has been quite fulfilling. The 4K panel is beautiful, and the streaming service is also in place for comfort! … But there is one missing element.

That is TV recording.

At the beginning of the purchase, TV programs were viewed infrequently, so I thought, "I wouldn't have any problems without a TV program recorder." This is a complete mistake. After all, TV is communication. While watching TV, the topic with my family is lively, and there are still many contents that can only be seen on the air.

However, the hard part of TV is that it is not always seen in real time.

There is also a missed distribution service, but it does not mean that you can play it unlimitedly. Then what about the recorder? Speaking of which, the price is high and wiring is troublesome. I was dragging the problem of not being able to shoot the program. until now.

With a stick-type SSD, you can use the TV recording function just by inserting it.

I got an item that seems to solve all these problems at once. It is a stick type SSD "SSD-PUT" series released by Buffalo.

It's as casual as a USB memory, with a large capacity of 250GB to 1TB, and because it's an SSD, it's fast! A nice storage with all three beats.

8,480 yen

This time, I tried to utilize the recording function of the TV using this "SSD-PUT" (yes, the recording function is almost standard equipment on the current TV). This is really easy! Let me briefly introduce the flow ...

Take it out of the box.

Slide the side switch to expose the USB connector.

Insert it into the USB terminal for the recording HDD of the TV.

Yes, this is all. After that, the TV recognizes it as if it were connected to an external HDD, so you can just set it for recording. wiring? power supply? Do not need.

I actually recorded it, but there is no problem with recording and playback. It was more comfortable and convenient than I had imagined to be able to quickly access the recorded program list from the standard TV functions without using network settings or apps. If it was this easy, I should have used the TV recording function sooner ...

No need for storage space, no operating noise.Merits of choosing "SSD-PUT" that I felt after using it

Since I connected quickly, I will introduce the features of "SSD-PUT" again. After all I want you to pay attention to the feeling of size and good maneuverability.

The main body size is 68.2 x 23 mm, and the weight is about 17 g. Since the AA battery weighs about 23g, it's lighter than the one battery in the remote control. When I actually bring it, it's so light that I don't feel the weight, and my head is a little buggy. No ... SSDs are so small and light.

And the convenient point is that it can be directly inserted into a device like a USB memory.

Since it is compatible with bus power that obtains power from the USB terminal, there is no need to route wiring. In every home, the back of the TV is almost full of trees with various cables such as power supply, antenna, HDMI cable for game consoles and wiring for sound bar. Furthermore, it is a situation where "there is no outlet left!"

If you are going to install an external HDD for recording there, a three-stage mission of wiring + securing a place + securing a power supply will occur, so it is no wonder that "I wonder if it's okay" at that stage. I think.

But with this (SSD-PUT), just insert it.

"Isn't it so easy without wiring ...", the hurdle of the TV recording environment inside me has dropped sharply. This is a project that should have been introduced earlier.

In the first place, I thought that stick-type SSDs were exclusively for PCs, but officially stated that they support TV recording, and they have been verified to work with TVs from various manufacturers. Also, unlike HDD, there is no crunchy sound during recording / playback, so it is also good for use on a bedroom TV.

A recorder is good, but maybe the TV recording function is enough now?

Since the recording function of TV is simple, depending on your needs, it may be a reason to choose a multifunctional dedicated recorder that supports Blu-ray output and transfer to smartphones in addition to recording and viewing.

However, in recent years when streaming and overlooked distribution have been enhanced, SSDs can be added to the now standard TV recording function to simply enjoy recording without adding a full-fledged recording device. The idea is also a wise choice, isn't it?

Even if a full-scale recorder is introduced in the future, "SSD-PUT" is a versatile and high-speed SSD (reading time is about 430MB / s). Even if you remove it from the TV, it can still be used as storage for game consoles and PCs.

Given this, isn't it an ant to choose "SSD-PUT" as the "first step in the recording life"?

Enter the world of TV recording for about 8,000 yen for a 500GB model

In this way, the stick-type SSD "SSD-PUT", which allows you to easily use the recording function of the TV, is available in three models with different capacities. The price on Amazon at the time of writing the manuscript is as follows.

The well-balanced model is the 500GB model. It is now possible to record TV programs for about 8,000 yen, and the recording time is about 62 hours for terrestrial digital broadcasting. You can leave 20 specials for 3 hours.

It is a fact that the "price per capacity" is higher than that of an external HDD. However, if it is not for permanent storage, but for applications such as preventing missed programs and time-shifted viewing, affordable price and easy connection exist as certain advantages.

How is it? Before choosing a recorder, I think it's okay to consider the stick-type "SSD-PUT", which is a simple SSD recording that does not require wiring.

Look, this neat wiring. Recording is OK in this state. This is a big advantage.
