Just so people know, this drive has a swappable interface card. One is eSATA/USB one is FireWire. So if you plan on using this drive a lot between systems, it's a bit of a pain to have to swap out/in the interface cards. This is a good price for this drive, though. |
My Costco has these instore for $199.99. Just in case somebody has a Costco near, but no Fry's. I bought one of these to expand space on my MOXI DVR. Seems like a nice drive - the case is silent, and so far always cool to the touch. I'd have preferred if it could be laid flat (the foot of the drive contains the connectors, so you can't take it off, and you can't orient the drive any other way), but other than that I'm pretty happy. A note to anyone wanting to use this for a MOXI: make sure you disable the drive's sleep mode through your PC first (it's an option in the software installed on the drive), the MOXI can't wake the drive up, so you won't have access to the space if you leave sleep mode enabled. |
this is the first time i've seen it referred to as "Data Mover". |

Does anyone know if the current deals mean that the 1TB FreeAgent is coming soon? |
CheapCheap1 said:Want to know down $10, try to buy from Staples ($299) & ask for the PM. FYI, Staples PM is now 100% (down from 110%), so unless you're doing something else to sweeten this deal, there's not much benefit to buying from Staples over Frys. |
this doesnt look like it comes with an esata cable if esata is a selling point for you. Good price and 5 year warranty for a retail product is nice though. |
Anyone recomend a decent eSATA pci port or other to utilize these drives, a few people are usuing these on TiVo series 3 and cox DVR? TIA |
Bellyflops said:will these work with directtv and TiVo DVR's? Yes and No. This is the drive many at dbstalk forum use to expand the storage of their Directv HR20's. All you have to do for that is get an eSata cable, hook it up, and restart the DVR. As for TiVo DVR's I'm not sure about the new ones but the old ones required you to replace the drive and they used PATA drives. This drive has an SATA drive as the internal drive so wouldn't work for those. Unless they have switched to SATA (the one I hacked is about 5 years old now) Edit: The reason most at DBStalk use this drive is because it has been available at Costco and Circuit City recently for $200. But from what I read this drive has better reviews at the same price point. |
This will work for external storage on the TiVo Series 3, or the TiVo HD. All other TiVo's are SD only, and do not support external drives (this is for standalone TiVo's, don't know about the DTV ones). |
