Hard drive / TiVo software

Just install a blank drive, the Bolt will format it, the max it will do with no help from you is 3TB, if you do over that there are steps you can do to expand it.

 

Not sure what interface the OP is using but I thought I read that the new interface, TE4, would format a drive up to 14TB.

"Recommended" is the key. For 2.5" drives less than a handful, maybe only one if talking 3TB. External many options, as long as a CMR drive. Double check a "recommendation" as much has changed, some drives that used to be recommended here have been changed by the manufacturer and no longer work, need specific model numbers.

 

Then you're talking external drives, etc, and without knowing or wanting to dig into the "which OS are you running" part it can be easier to just give a simple correct answer that works for all OSs IMNSHO
