I have run out of SATA ports... What do I do?

Usb 3 drive would be faster only if you have a usb 3 port on your computer. Hi res just means the file size will be bigger and take longer to transfer on usb 2.

It doesn't record a temporary file then put it on my HDD. It records the show directly off the air and onto the HDD as it happens, and it closes the file after the show ends/when I program it to stop.

I have USB 3.0 ports, I just need the drive to do it.

Most high capacity drives are all USB 3.0 these days anyways.
 
If you have a eSATA port why not use it? You can buy a external eSATA enclosure and put any SATA drive in it. Remember you have to use a eSATA cable with this since it is not the same as a regular SATA one.

Of course most people now days are opting for drives that use USB 3.0 since it is pretty fast. I only mention eSATA because you have it and are not using it.
