    Marrying a WK upgrade drive to a native TiVo HD drive

    Hi,

    I am purchasing the new TiVo HD ($299) and have bought a 300 GB upgrade drive (Seagate DB35) for it. I'd like to use both, and have heard as long a drive is configured for TiVo it can be connected via eSATA connection using option 62 function (not sure if I'm saying this right, I'm new to this stuff).

    Does anyone have any experience with this? Would it be best to plug the WK drive externally or switch it with the 160 GB internal drive and try to use it externally?

    Finally, I had read about mirroring a drive using MLS Live or something to that effect, but didn't think I could as my mobo does not have SATA outputs? Is this true?

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Is the DB35 drive a SATA drive? Did we configure it for that unit? Do you have an external case?

      yes, yes and not yet but I'd get one if I'd plan on doing this.

        Well, if we formatted it, then it was meant to go inside the unit, and the formatting won't help at all outside. At this point, external drives are still in testing phases for this model.
