Fantastic drive for TiVo HD! Very quiet!
By Math Man
To increase the capacity of my TiVo HD I replaced the 160 GB drive with a 1 TB WD10EARS. I love this drive! It is very quiet which is great because I use my TiVo HD in my bedroom!
My PC is old and doesn't have SATA ports. I connect SATA drives to my PC with a "Syba USB 3.0 to SATA Docking Station for 2.5-Inch and 3.5-Inch Hard Drives SD-ENC50037" (see link below). It supports USB 3.0 and is backward compatible to USB 1.1 and 2.0 in case your computer is old like mine and doesn't have USB 3.0 ports. It works great! Unlike another USB SATA Docking Station I tried previously which caused drives to overheat, this one does not confine drives very much and so runs much cooler. It does require some manipulation to install the drive in the docking station, however. I highly recommend this docking station over the other one which costs about $6 to $8 more.

Following are the steps I used to upgrade my TiVo HD:
Download WinMFS software from Internet
Connect USB SATA Docking Station to USB port on PC
Insert original SATA drive from TiVo HD into slot of Docking Station
Turn on Docking Station
After you hear drive spin up, start WinMFS software
File / Select Drive (select original TiVo drive)
File / Backup (create truncated backup)
Select Backup File: assign a name to the backup file
Click Start Button
When backup is finished, exit WinMFS
Use "Safely Remove Hardware" in lower right hand control panel to remove Docking Station and installed drive
Turn off Docking Station and remove drive
Replace original drive by replacement SATA drive in slot on USB SATA Docking Station
Wait until drive spins up then launch WinMFS
File / Select Drive / select the new replacement SATA drive
Tools / Delete Format (IMPORTANT STEP)
File / Restore / select truncated file in "HD Backup Files" folder
Click Start (to restore TiVo image onto new drive)
DO NOT CHANGE THE SWAP SIZE! LEAVE IT AT DEFAULT 128
Say YES when restore is complete and WinMFS asks if you want to expand the drive to use the new space
Exit WinMFS
Turn off the USB SATA adapter and remove drive from adapter

Great Moxi Hard Drive Replacement
By SIL777
My Moxi was beginning to give me problems so I did some research and found the Official Moxi Hard Drive Replacement thread on the AVS Forums. If I had an account with them my post would go like this.
Moxi three tuner
Internal Replacement
SUCCESS
My Moxi had the following symptoms. Picture would freeze then it would starting up again or error out. Picture would pixilate. Network icons would disappear and later reappear. All recorded shows at times would get dumped by the Moxi after rebooting. Moxi would show no signal present when it actually was present.
Replaced original Moxi hard drive with this Western Digital hard drive (WD10EURX). Never removed the CableCard. I was able to do the four finger press with the Moxi connected to my LAN. Read some users had to connect straight to their modem which was not the case for me. Maybe because I have a reserved IP for my Moxi. The Moxi must have internet access for this procedure to work. The four finger press brought up the reformatting screen in about 25 seconds. I selected yes for the process to begin. Took no more than 40 minutes to complete. Once completed Moxi asked a few basic questions like it did when I first set it up new. When I got to the program guide it took a few minutes to load (so don't panic). After that all was functioning properly.
I made a note of my channels and the shows I record. This information had to be enter in again and the notes made the process easier. The hard drive is quiet. Never had to reset the CableCard all my channels worked again without having to call my cable company. Three weeks later and all is well. I have already order the same hard drive just to have a backup on hand.

Replacement Drive for Tivo HD
By BertMan
I purchased this drive as a replacement for a failing 750 gig Seagate DB35. I had been getting corrupted recordings, and random reboots on my Tivo HD for several weeks, so found my way into the HD diagnostics menu (kickstart code 54) and found that the HD was getting bad sectors. Unfortunately, this is because Tivo in their infinite wisdom, buffers live video to the HD 24/7, so after 4 years, this HD was dying.
I backed up my recordings (all 600+ GB worth) onto my PC, performed a truncated backup, restored the backup to the new drive, and replaced the failing drive with this WD 1 TB drive. And unlike earlier WD drives that I'd read about, this one did not require any adjustments to the spin down function.
Once the Tivo ran some mysterious tests on the new drive for 3+ hours, it came right up. It now shows 157 HD hours available on the new drive.
Just last night, I stress tested the new drive by recording 2 HD programs, transferred a third back from my PC and watched a fourth HD prerecorded program - that's 4 HD streams at once. It performed without any problems.
