It is the limit unless you want to start looking installing software patches, which of course requires the need to get the prom swapped on the motherboard.
looking to upgrade to the tivoHD and my searches came up with the 1.2tb limit - is that still applicable?
Now that drives are so cheap, it makes little difference to upgrade to the WD green 1.5tb drive @ $140 vs $110 for 1tb.
Is there anything I am missing here? I guess, at least I will get another 200gb of storage for my $30 difference.

I just went with the "tested" drive list given on:

that I used to frequent when living in the big bad land of the "free"

Justin,
Just wondering if you have any feedback on the new drive you installed.
Were there any problems and in particular do you notice any increase in noise given it's rating of "7".
Thanks
Darryl.
The drive is noisy but I watch my 42 inch tv from around 3mtrs away in a large room so unless I am standing beside the tivo I cannot hear it. Standing beside it, with also my old S1 running beside it, it is noticably noisy.
So, if you watch in a smaller room, bedroom, etc and its quiet, then you probably will not want this drive. But if you watch in large back room (you know, the standard living room/kitchen/general room that probably was an extension - mine is around 60sq mts) then this drive is excellent.
Otherwise the upgrade was super easy - much easier than when I updated the S1. I had recently purchase an eSATA external HDD dock from Brando for backup purposes.

I had also purchased an eSATA thingy from them that enabled eSATA from my a spare SATA connection I had on the motherboard

This meant that I just needed to drop the original drive into the dock and then this one and the update was done in about 5-10mins - Extremely painless.
