No but it would work. My SBE is off many times over the last year and
I have 1TB of recordings on the SBE. The only problem that this causes
is that when in the recordings list if you select a recording that is
on the SBE it takes a few seconds to get out of that selection. I
guess if I turn off previews I would not have this problem.
