Review: Perfect Drive for a Tivo HD Upgrade! - My TiVo HD DVR got to the point where I often found recorded shows in pieces because the darn thing rebooted itself in the middle of recording, leaving me with two recordings and a 12 minute gap in between (for one hour shows). Its frequent reboots interrupted viewing. Researching online, it became clear to me that the hard drive was dying. After finding instructions online at Engadget and TiVoCommunity for how to replace the hard drive and transfer all my recordings from the original TiVo hard drive, I was all set to buy a Seagate drive. Then I learned that there actually is a difference among drives, and this Western Digital AV-GP WD10EURX one is designed for DVRs. While I might not think much of a noisy Seagate drive in my computer, I don't want a noisy hard drive in an appliance in my living room. According to a TiVoCommunity forum posting, WD AV-GP drives rate a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is the quietest. Also, these drives are designed for continuous operation 24/7 with the intent that the data they are moving is video that you are watching, so they don't split up the bytes and move them in the random ways that regular data gets transferred. One concern I had is that the original TiVo HD 160 GB drive ran at 5400 rpm and this new WD10EURX 1 TB drive runs at 7200 rpm so would the faster drive get hotter and since the TiVo HD was only designed to cool the 5400 rpm drive, would this be a problem? The answer is no. These WD AV-GP drives are "green" emitting low heat so they can easily replace the original drive without an issue. The TiVoCommunity forum posting was last updated about 5 years ago, so its description of running WinMFS, the required tool for preparing hard drives for TiVo usage, only goes up to Windows Vista, so I can add that it works with Windows 7, just right-click on WinMFS.exe and run as administrator. The forum posting warns against WD AV-GP drives saying that they can't be rebooted and will just hang. The only solution then is to unplug the power cord in the back of the TiVo and then plug it back in. This is no longer true. Western Digital must have heard about the problem and fixed it, because I was able to use the restart option from the TiVo menu to test this, and sure enough, the TiVo restarted. I did not need to unplug and replug the unit. I did not need to run the wdidle3 workaround program. After the upgrade, I went from 21 HD / 184 SD hours recording capacity to 157 HD / 1,367 SD hours. Plus, all my recordings transferred from the old drive to the new one since I ran the MFSCOPY command via the WinMFS GUI. Below are some URLs where I pieced together the information to perform the upgrade (I hope these links remain in my comments, not sure if desertcart will remove them): http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=370784#S5 http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/how-to-upgrade-your-tivo-hd-with-winmfs/ Review: Best Green Drive out there! - I did a lot of research to find out what is the best secondary hard drive to get for data storage. This drive is it! This drive has a 5 year warranty where as the other green drives are 2. 1,000,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) where as the other drives are not rated with a MTBF. Sata III is very fast and even faster on windows 7 and 8 compared to XP. I have mine in front of a fan and its never hot to the touch even under a big load and stays very quiet. The only con is these kind of drives only come in 1 TB so you will have to buy more and raid them if you want larger storage. Other than that this will be the most reliable green drive you can get for $100 well worth the peace of mind for me! ## Features - Power-conserving WD AV-GP drives offer significant power savings and thermally optimized operation resulting in lower cost of ownership and unsurpassed reliability for PVR/DVR, IPTV boxes and media server manufacturers. - SilkStream - Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to twelve simultaneous HD streams. SilkStream is compatible with the ATA streaming command set so CE customers can use standard streaming management and error recovery options. - Ideal for set-top boxes (PVR, DVR and IPTV), media servers, media centers, and surveillance applications. - 1 TB capacity holds up to 200,000 digital photos, 250,000 MP3 files, and 120 hours of HD video. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006IMFT32 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #212 in Internal Hard Drives #3,807 in Computer Internal Components | | Brand | Western Digital | | Built-In Media | Hard Drive | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 64 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,200 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037781709, 00809385162460 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Part Number | WD10EURX | | Item Weight | 0.54 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Media Speed | ≤ 6.0 gigabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | WD10EURX | | Model Name | AV-GP | | Model Number | WD10EURX | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 600 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 809385162460 809185313109 718037781709 112840369664 778889495971 151903626221 191120075204 | | Warranty Description | 3 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** ATA - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![WD AV-GP 1 TB AV Video Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EURX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816hijo9hsL.jpg) ![WD AV-GP 1 TB AV Video Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EURX - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713CVlEahfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this drive work in a Zmodo D9014BH?** A: I am not sure. I wasn't able to find anything on the D9014BH. I suspect, if it has the SATA connection, that it will work just fine. I am using it on a Zmodo KT7116EC, 16 Channel and it has worked great. I am thinking about getting another for my Home Theater PC. **Q: is this drive formatted to operate a Tivo and if so is it compatible with Series 2 Toshiba model SR-TX20?** A: The drive comes unformatted. It can be used in a TiVo if you have the TiVo software to load (e.g. MFStools) or can clone your existing Series 2 disk using something like MFSlive. **Q: Will this disk work as a regular desktop EXTERNAL hard disk drive?** A: This drive has a SATA interface which is usually an internal interface. It could work as an external drive if you have a drive enclosure that converts USB to SATA but even then it's the wrong drive for the application. This drive is meant to be used for recording and streaming video 24/7 and does not have a lot of the error detection and correction functions normally used on a computer drive. **Q: Will his work as a external for tivo premiere 500gb. model tcd746500?** A: Yes its works! but you should buy this cable additionaly: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Dual-Power-eSATA-USB-12V-5V-Combo-to-22Pin-SATA-USB-Hard-Disk-Cable-Adapter-/161967198663?hash=item25b5ff51c7:g:QZUAAOSwL7VWsZYj ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Drive for a Tivo HD Upgrade! *by K***S on May 26, 2013* My TiVo HD DVR got to the point where I often found recorded shows in pieces because the darn thing rebooted itself in the middle of recording, leaving me with two recordings and a 12 minute gap in between (for one hour shows).

After many years of use my TIVO started to respond slowly, but it was out of warranty. The only moving part is the HDD, so I took a chance and replaced it with the WD AV-GP 1 TB, 64 MB Cache. The TIVO works like new or better; it has been a long time and I just do not remember how it ran when new. This HDD almost did not fit in the case, I had to install it upside down. The WD AV-GP 1 TB runs silent, no vibration, no clicks. I chose this HDD because of the large Cache, low Amazon price and the "drive leveling". I realize that there is a large unused partition, the TIVO still has the same amount of recording space. If I could have found a 200 GB HDD with the same specifications and lower price I would have bought it. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD AV-GP 1 TB AV Video Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EURX - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - Silicon Power Value Gaming DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz (PC4 25600) CL16 1.35V Desktop Memory Module with Heatsink Camouflage Grey SP016GXLZU320BDAJ5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/809599-wd-av-gp-1-tb-av-video-hard-drive-3](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/809599-wd-av-gp-1-tb-av-video-hard-drive-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
