For suggested pre-built eSATA solutions, see FAQ #27. If you want to build your own “Non Verified” eSATA solution, a list of recommended SATA drives is found in FAQ #28 and a list of enclosures is found in FAQ #29. It is very important to have the right eSATA cable. The TiVos will not work reliably with many eSATA cables, which lack a connector of sufficient length. See FAQ #26 for a list of eSATA cables that are confirmed to work well with the TiVo.
