This is the cheapest I have seen for a Seagate DB35 750GB hard drive. I just ordered one for my Tivo HD.

Cheapest on pricegrabber $128

Also posted to slickdeals, but not much love coming from there.

Can I put this drive in a Series 2? What is the max drive size I can add to my Series 2?

(Is there a FAQ in this forum that talks about max capacity? I searched, but couldn't find it.)

Thanks!

Series2 use PATA (Ultra/100) connections rather than SATA. I always used Seagate DB35 (http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/db35_series/db35_series_7200.3/) drives for my Series2 upgrades. Looks like they have a 750G drive. Any Ultra/100 (or Ultra/133, I think) drive should work. It is all a matter of noise and reliability.

I upgraded my TivoHD with this drive, and it's louder than the original 160GB drive. Apparently you can't acoustically tune the DB35... I would have picked a different drive in hinesight ..

I have found the DB35 to vary in noise from drive to drive. I returned a drive to weaknees for being too loud which didn't make any noise for them, but the replacement drive they sent me was dead quiet.
