[iceshark]

I want a simple plug and play in 750-1tb size range to expand my HD size on my HR20 HDDVR.

I have read most Esata combos work. Dont want to order online. Looking for best deal at a store like Bestbuy, Frys, Costco ect.

Thanks

Don't have to be Seagate's, thats what I searched for because thats what I remember seeing when I was in there , also thats what I use and have never had any issues with them.

Make sure you read the sticky about esata drives first.

I had a WD My Book 500 gig connected to my HR20-700 and it lost all my programming, I've used a Seagate 500 gig with zero problems... (use both brands with the USB 2.0 with dish with no problems...)

Just went through this today with my HR20-700...

1TB WD MyBook --- Did NOT Work... (was $139.99 at Costco)

1TB Seagate FreeAgent XTreme - WORKED PERFECTLY... ($159.99 at Best Buy today... not actually bad for a terabyte...)

Cheers and Best of Luck!
