Apricorn offers 1TB DVR Xpander

Apricorn DVR XpanderApricorn is upping the storage capacity of its DVR Xpander eSATA hard drives. Previously, you could pick up a 250GB model for $129 or a 500GB version for $199.

Now Apricorn is offering a 1TB model for $329 after rebate. There's also a new 750GB model for $279. The 250GB model seems to have been discontinued, while the 500GB model got a $20 price cut.

The DVR Xpander is really just a hard drive in an external case with an eSATA cable. So you could really buy any hard drive and enclosure you like and plug it into your personal video recorder if the eSATA port is enabled. But Apricorn's prices do seem pretty reasonable.

The only officially supported PVRs are the Scientific Atlanta 8300 and 8300HD. But we don't see any reason why the DVR Xpander wouldn't work with other boxes. Like say, the TiVo Series3 or TiVo HD.

It should work out of the box with a TiVo Series3 (though their prior model didn't get very good reviews on the TCF) but not without some tweaking to work with the TiVo HD.
