Used in my TiVo HD. No Problems
I bought this drive for use in my TiVo HD. I was worried that since this drive was manufactured more recently than the ones recommended by the Tivo Community that I would have problems. It comes from the factory pre-configured to use the "Green" idle feature. I booted from a boot disk and used the wdidle.exe software to shut this off. I have had no problems whatsoever so far (about 1 month).
Works great on my TivoHD
I specifically orders this HD to replace another 1TB HD (Samsung F1) in my TivoHD.
The noise level is significantly lower with the new drive.
The TiVo is in my bedroom and I can no longer hear the drive spinning. Great product so far.
Great TiVo HD upgrade
I have a TiVo HD with My DVR Expander. "My DVR Expander" broke after 1 yr. Decided to replace the internal 160GB with this. It's awesome!
PRO:
* Taking out My DVR Expander so 1 less power cord to deal with, less clutter in area
* Lower power consumption than the 160GB drive it replaced.
* Technically, according to spec, lower noise than the orig 160GB drive.
* TiVo UI is more responsive (though possibly, it may be bec the 1 TB drive is not full yet so TiVo is not busy doing background work to optimize).
CON
* None (other than the hassle of setting up your PC to do WinMFS).
This is the right type of hard drive for this type of application (DVR).
