DVR drives have considerably less files to handle than a regular PC drive but are also considerably larger - so the usage of regular PC drive and DVR drive are quite different - DVR drive doesn't need the same seek speed/capability but needs to read relatively massive files - PC drive usually blocks of 1k whereas DVR often use blocks of maybe half-meg
