I have a HHD Drive in a Laptop can it be formatted and use in the Buzz 4900 or the drive have to be SSD in order for it to work?

I used a drive from an old laptop 

Works fine

Ok

Can it be formatted in the buzz box?

I need to try the external drives for a change, I have a couple knocking around. I use an SD card.

but they're not using an external drive 😉

You know what I mean, HDD or SSD. I'm saying I never tried using either  on the 4900. I only use sd card

you have it inside sata holder or are you using usb?

inside  with the sata plug inder the box

you can even use the westen digital ssd up 6tb with the sate plug inside the box it will work 

6tb is the maxx you can use right now with the sate plug in the xrs 4900

good to know considering buzztv says you can only use up to 2tb
