Western Digital unveiled external hard drives that can be hooked up to Tivo’s Series 3 DVRs and Tivo HD. Its “My DVR Expander” was launched in June 2007 for the Scientific Atlanta 8300 series of HD DVRs for $200 and they are now available for Tivos. The product was Tivo verified and is even on sale on Tivo’s web site.
The 500GB model provides 300 additional hours of SD content or up to 60 hours of HD.
I have a Tivo Series 2, so this isn’t available for me. That’s ok, since this is really for hard-core users that want more space for their HD content. Although 60 hours of HD content still doesn’t seem like enough space for a TV junkie like me.

I’ve also seen this available in my local Best Buy and on they finally have it on Bestbuy.com. I found it with the other hard drives in the computer department when I had been looking in the TV department where I thought it would be.
