Apricorn ADVRX-500 500 GB Serial ATA Hard drive, 500GB - Serial ATA/300 - External SATA - Internal.
The DVR Xpander does exactly what its name implies, it instantly expands the number of television shows, movies and sporting events you can store on your DVR. The Digital Video Recorder (DVR) has changed the way you watch TV, putting you in complete control of when and how you watch the programs you love. Unfortunately there is never enough space on the DVR hard drive to record everything you want to watch, especially if you are recording it in high definition. When the hard drive is full you must delete shows to free up space for the new programs you want to watch.
The DVR Xpander solves the storage space problem by allowing you to instantly add up to 562 hours of standard TV or 125 hours of high definition programming with the DVR Xpander 1 Terabyte. DVR Xpander is the perfect companion for the Scientific Atlanta 8300 series DVR or any DVR equipped with an active eSATA port. Many cable companies offer Scientific Atlanta 8300 series DVR’s with an activate eSATA port. If you are uncertain whether your DVR supports external storage, you can check Apricorn’s website, search the internet by DVR model number, or contact the DVR manufacturer.
DVR Xpander has an ultra-cool fan that keeps the enclosure at optimal temperature which will extend the life of your hard drive.
