Re: UKHA2003 TiVo upgrade HD purchase

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Peter,

I've just taken delivery of an WD drive, - still boxed on the shelf, so
can;t comment on that one yet, - planning on installing it today
hopefully..

I also have several of the Samsung's - one of them in my Tivo, where it has
been running for about 2 months... - no problems at all so far (although I
know that's not a very long test!), - and the other main thing about them
is
thay are damn near silent in operation in the Tivo...

(I previously had an IBM 7200 in there, which was definately *not* silent,
and as Tivo is in my bedroom, it was enough to be a problem....

HTH
