neTegriti 750GB eSATA Upgrade for Scientific Atlanta 8300HD & 8000HD. This is a complete external SATA hard drive kit that includes all necessary cabling to attach to the SA8300HD's eSATA port.

Similar but better than Maxtor Quickview Expander drives. Maxtor uses 5400RPM, we use 7200RPM for reliable multi-room viewing and steady video playback and record of multiple programs.

You own or rent a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD (or 8300SD) cable tuner & digital video recorder (DVR/PVR). It currently holds either 10 or 20 hours (80GB or 160GB) of high definition video (or 90 hours of standard definition video). Many users find that they exhaust their storage space quickly. Therefore we offer you an external SATA hard drive that connects to the SATA port on the back of the SA 8300HD. It allows you to record an extra 93 hours of high definition television (or an extra 420 hours of standard definition video).

We have selected the latest Maxtor SATA hard drive models (faster than the Maxtor QuickView Expander drive), it leverages the core technology of Maxtor QuickView consumer electronics (CE) hard drives, which power a high share of today's DVRs worldwide. Different than a standard PC hard drive, Maxtor QuickView CE drives are designed for streaming media applications and offer exceptional performance and advanced features that enhance the digital entertainment experience.

Life in a desktop computer doesn't compare to the extreme environment in an always-on, high duty cycle digital video recording system. What's needed is a drive engineered to thrive in a high-intensity video system while still offering traditional low cost-per-capacity desktop value.
