    Not the way you want to do it.
    There are some special external hard drives that have firmware built-in to give them some intelligence. I am firly certain they work only with camcorders that write to DV, DV Widescreen and HDV formats.
    Sony makes one for their HVR and XDCAM series camcorders and Focus Enhancements makes a couple of different ones for miniDV tape based camcorders – and in both cases, the external hard drives connect using a firewire cable to the camcorder’s firewire/DV/IEEE1394/i.LINK port.
    But the “dumb” external drives built specifically to hold computer data can’t deal with the data stream directly – which is why the computer is needed… plus, USB is a bursty protocol and can’t keep up with streaming high quality video – but Firewire can…
