I'm just about ready to order this kit "Sony SVR-2000 160GB TurboNet Bundle with TiVoWebPlus", but I am having trouble finding info on the name brand, type of drive & warranty.

What brands types of drives come in the kits sold in the Tivo Community Store?

Is this a proper DVR optimized drive like a Seagate DB35.2?

What is the warranty period?

OK - I found warranty info on link in the store -- The drive(s) have 3 year warranty which is good.

But no info that says the drives are manufacturer engineered for DVRs.
