I was going to build my own DVR expander, as I had done with the other box I have in the house, but to get the appropriate hard drive and enclosure would have cost double what I paid for the Iomega expander when it was recently on sale on this site. Works flawlessly, without any stuttering. Very happy with it.
By marko
Purchased product in January because of great price. Can hear drive working hard during recording and there's a constant high-pitch sound that can be heard during off times. Expected unit to be quieter than it is.
By movierunner
This unit worked right out of the box. My PVR saw it on a reboot. Now the wife can record up to 600 hrs non HD or about 90 HD.

Iomega 1TB Expander Driver for DVR
Plugged it in, followed directions and worked first time as promised. Con: Videotron web access does not recognize extra space, so I could not add programs to be recorded.

Working fine with SA8300HD -- but beware
Read until the end if you plan to use this external hard disk with a Scientific Atlanta DVR. I'm with Videotron in Quebec City using the SA8300HD. Read more
