Hard-drive manufacturer Western Digital introduced the My Library Video Edition DVR Expander, able to store up to an additional 300 hours of digital standard-definition or 60 hours of HDTV programming for Scientific Atlanta 8300 digital-video-recorder set-top boxes.
Western Digital said the system is compatible with SA’s 8300 HD, 8300 MR and 8300 HD-MR DVRs, and connects via their external serial-advanced-technology-attachment ports. The company added that it plans to add support for other DVR manufacturers as they enable the eSATA ports on their set-tops.
My Library DVR Expander, which has 500 gigabytes of hard-drive storage, carries a retail price of $200.
