    tivo dual tuner-adding a drive

    i have the tivo 80hr dual tuner. i want to add a second drive.

    i have available for the second drive- a seagate ultra ata/100 400gb drive 16mb cache, OR a WD 320gb 8mb cache. is one better than the other for adding to the tivo?

    i already bought the twinbreeze kit for my unit and i'm ready to do the install. after looking over the included instructions, i'm a lil confused(read-noob'd).
    what exactly do i need to do to the new drive to add it to the oem drive? is it not as simple as adding a second drive in my computer?

    thanks for the help.

    If either is specifically a DVR drive, we'd use that. Otherwise, either is fine. More info is here:

      these are ordinary drives.

      what makes the others dvr specific?

        Read the link - there's pretty full info there. All DVR manufacturers use this line of drives or a similar one from another manufacturer.
