    Premiere Xl Hard Drive's (?)

    So I'm about to buy a a new Tivo Premiere XL with the works. And I'm looking at maximizing my unit bringing it to the peak of it's potential. I'd like to see it reach it's overall 4TB capacity ceiling. So I'm going to buy a 2 TB Western Digital external eSata Drive to accompany my new premiere xl Tivo box. The question, however, lies on the inside of the unit. How many hard drive's does the premiere and the premiere xl machine's come with? And what are their factory Hard drive sizes? Does the Tivo premiere xl come with 1 TB drive or 2 500 GB drives? And just to confirm, I should be okay reaching the 4 TB peak with either 1 2TB drive or 2 1TB drives in my Tivo; in addition to my new 2TB external WD eSata drive right?

    I need to know because when I upgrade the machine to 2TB's on the inside, I want to know if I have to get a 1.5 TB to accompany the 500 GB factory, or a 1TB to accompany the 1TB factory? Do you know?

    and I suppose it's good to know what the drive capacity ceiling is currently held for each internal slot as well. SO is a 1.5 TB going to be okay to bridge the gap? Or is 1TB the limit of each drive slot that the Tivo can process internally at any given time. (Per drive)

    ... With current technological standards for the Tivo machine of coarse.

      The Premiere has a single 320gb inside; the XL has a single 1TB inside.

      Going with a 2TB+2TB drive can cause problems; I'd suggest you wait a bit and consider a 4TB kit that we expect to be selling shortly. 4TB is currently the max, and it has to be done right to actually function.
