Western Digital My Book Studio II - 4TB External Hard DRIVE

[athomps4]

Would this work with a Directv HD receiver? I have a 500 GB drive now and its starting to malfunction. Here is a link

Western Digital - My Book Studio Edition II 4TB External USB 2.0/FireWire/eSATA Hard Drive for Mac - WDH2Q40000N


Please let me know
Thanks

Personally, I would steer away from an external hd that large. If you have it loaded up with programming and it fails, you are sol. A 1tb holds a lot of stuff and costs a mere pittance these days.
