Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Deal
I had held off buying one of these because I felt the price was way too high. It was very easy to install and now I have all the storage I will ever need.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Peacekeeper
It does just exactly what it says it does. My family was in a constant battle over whose shows got recorded and whose didn't. Basic DVR would record about 10 hour long HD episodes and we were lost. Installed extender. Went from 90% full to <20%. Problem solved, for now anyway.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Easy install, but limited life expectancy
Like the other 40+ reviewers, this was a breeze to install with my TiVo Series III HD. That was 18 months ago, and it's worked perfectly until today. I ran the Kickstart 54 SMART diagnostics, and the external drive has failed. A ton of stored stuff is gone forever (although I may try the trick of freezing the drive and transferring to my PC). 18 months is way too short for the life of an HD drive.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works perfectly
My plan was to eventually get this expander all along. I have always been a fan of Tivo, and when the right deal came my way I got the new Dual tuner HD Tivo that only recorded 20 hrs in HD. Tivo at the time was selling a larger Tivo with I believe 40 hrs recording in HD for $400-$500. 20 Hours is definitely not enough in my house, and if you are considering this, it's probably not enough in your house either.

At the moment they are selling a beast with 150 hrs in HD recording for ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Failed after 13 months
Bought my 500GB expander in October 2007. Worked great with Cox Cable's Scientific Atlanta 8300HD box for about a year. Then I started noticing tiling in some channels (on live TV, not recorded DVR programs). It got progressively worse. Three techs came out and gave me two new SA cable boxes. Turns out the problem was not the Scientific Atlanta box but rather the Western Digital expander, which was corrupting the live TV signal, even when it wasn't recording anything and I wasn't using the DVR.
