2 Internal Drives - Tivo HD?

[shieldsa]

Going with the great guide with the Drive Expansion and Drive Upgrade FAQ

Can a Tivo HD have two internal drives?

I see an internal/external scenario, but is there room for two internal drives, like the series 1?

Yes, I just finished my upgrade at 3:30 this morning. If you bolt the drives side-by-side (above the cable cards), it nicely fits at the front of the unit without impeding airflow. In fact I think it may help as it baffles the air across the heatsink on the CPU.

See message #3094 in the main upgrade FAQ. It's post 7348722 . (Sorry, I haven't posted enough to embed links).

While Ckought had an ingenious method of using a de-headed 6-32 screw to screw the drives together, I found that I had to improvise as my drive didn't allow me to get the second screw in. I just made a bracket to serve as a shelf for the new drive, works great. (My writeup and pics are in post 7534012).
