    I just purchased the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300R0 300GB HD after reading the recommendation on Weakness here: http://www.weaknees.com/quickview_drives.php

    My plan is to replace the existing drive with this one, and save the original as a backup drive.

    I've been reading posts here for a couple of weeks and various websites, but can anyone think of anything specific to this configuration (or plan) that I might need to know before beginning? Thanks.

    Just make sure to have a swap file of at least 150 and run tpip after the restore.

    If I'm just using a new drive and don't care about saving programs, is the restore something I do to restore programming or part of the format of the Tivo HD? I guess I'll figure it out when I do it.

    Ontario Canada.
    Restore justs restores the OS and base MFS set, with no recordings.
    If you do the piped copy, you can keep recordings.

    It's probably too late, but there is no need to get a QuickView drive. Most people do NOT use QuickView drives, and we have been running many years without problems.

    Actually, the price was right regardless. Zip Zoom Fly had it for $119 with free shipping and no rebate. For 300 GB and a drive that claims to be best suited for the purpose, it worked out nicely.
