I have several, including hardware RAID. I do not use more than 1 TB because that's a lot to lose.
As the sweet spot moves further from 1 TB, I will make the future EHDs all hardware RAID. Yep, it adds the cost of a second disk and the roughly hundred dollar RAID enclosure.
I wish I had the time to go back and finish the project I started, to read and catalog the contents of my EHDs. Should be fairly straightforward under Linux. And I think I've got a Linux Pascal for getting fancy.

I have been using a 3 TB Seagate drive from Costco for several years with no problems.
Lol. Sorry man, I thought it was you that always talked about the 3 TB EHD. I cannot remember who it was now. Oh well, maybe they will see this and respond later on.I have an EHD (640GB), which I only recently (within the last year) started using on my account. So I wouldn't consider myself the resident EHD guy.
Yea, he's got a 3TB hard drive that works fine as long as you don't go over Dish's maximum number of items per hard disk, which rumor has it is 1000.
I don't like the odds and stay with 2TB or less which is what is officially supported. 2TB holds a LOT of shows and movies. And with a Hopper you can have 2 EHD's.

I bought two WD Blue 1TB drives last year, which I still have yet to use. I too, believe in the 1TB max wisdom.
I save a lot on the 4TBs I have with 2 hoppers... I use the EHD to archive when I need space, and try and watch stuff on it and delete it.
I use 500gb with over 150 movies I have yet to watch and it is not full yet. I delete them after watching, unless it might be worth watching again, which is very few. Half of the movies on the EHD, I get bored and delete half way through.

You can have more than one active EHD?? I thought Dish only allowed one to be used?
On a Hopper you can have up to 2 fully supported EHD's. You can have 2 more but can only transfer to and from them. You can't see #3 and #4 on the DVR list or play from them.
