Western Digital today introduced its new My DVR Expander USB Edition external hard drives that are verified compatible with DISH Network's ViP Series HD DVRs. The 500GB external drive lets you store up to 300 hours of digital standard-definition (SD) or up to 60 hours of high-definition television programming. It includes a unique no-fan passive cooling system and an eco-friendly WD AV-GP hard drive with GreenPower technology, consuming up to one-third less power than standard external hard drives.
"With the continued expansion of available HD programming, there is a growing consumer demand for additional storage. The My DVR Expander USB Edition allows DISH customers to record more HD programs without worrying about having to delete their favorite shows," said Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD's branded products and consumer electronics businesses.
The WD My DVR Expander USB Edition drive with 500GB storage capacity is now available for $150.
