How safe is adding a drive using Twinbreeze?

08-21-2009, 08:03 AM

I love my DirecTivo. I just used MFStools to upgrade the stock 80 GB drive to a 320 GB drive.

Well, I already wish I would have used a bigger drive!

So, I was thinking about using the Twinbreeze, but, I fear that two drives will suck too much power out of my DTV's PS and I am just wondering how much this affects Twinbreeze upgrades.

I don't want to reduce the life of my beloved Dtivo!

Thanks!!

We've really not seen that cause any problem power-wise. The power supply in your unit is rated to 78 watts, and these drives use single-digit wattages, generally.

Been here a long time . . .
