  • Larger Drive than 160 GB

    can the 250GB drives work in apple TV , can weaknees install them ??
    and is there any other way to get a external drive setup ?

    To the best of our knowledge, there are no 250GB PATA drives in that form factor, only SATA. As for external drives, there seem to be some hacks out there, but they haven't proved to be stable enough and they don't survive upgrades.
    That's all there is to it!

      There is at least one 250GB 2.5" PATA drive out there:

      Western Digital Scorpio model WD2500BEVE

      Any chance of seeing that available as an upgrade option from WeaKnees?

          250 GB HardDrive Upgrade for Apple TV

          Hi,
          How much are the 250 GB PATA upgradeKits going to retail for?

            We haven't gotten final pricing, or the drives at this point. We thought we'd have them last week. We'll post when we know.

              OK - they're up. I must say, they aren't inexpensive, but as the price comes down on the drives, this price will too.

                Do it Myself?

                I noticed the clear easy instructions showing how to install a larger hard drive in my Apple TV, but don't see the option of doing so... only send it in to have it done. It looks easy enough; is it an option?

                  Nope - it must be done here.

                    Will you be offering a 320 GB upgrade? Western Digital makes the scorpio in a PATA interface in this capacity as well as the 250GB. I belive it is model WD3200BEVT.

                      That's a SATA drive. The PATA drives generally end in BEVE. I don't know that there will ever be a larger PATA drive - the WD rep claims they aren't pursuing laptop PATAs beyond 250 GB.
