Hello. I want to find out if i can plug a hard drive into the HVX and off load the P2 right to the hard drive and by-pass the computer step. Thanks
 
Yes, if the harddrive is firewire or a special kind of usb drive (I forget the name of the usb drives, but they have some inteligence built in and have a "push to backup" button on them). In any case the firewires are a little better (can do verification for example which you can't with usb).
 
In the case of Firewire, you need an SBP2-compatible drive/enclosure, and the HVX must be set to IEEE HOST mode.

For USB, you need a USB On-The-Go (OTG) drive. The OTG drive will usually have its own verification feature.
 
It's all covered in the manual on page 84 -- you want IEEE HOST mode, not IEEE 1394 mode.
