    • Hooked it up to computer to use it as a hard drive and it showed as a completely different unit, not the same model number as on the box and website.

    • Great unit.
    • looking for replacement of possible faulty WD 500 Gb unit, read the reviews, rolled the dice anyway, ordered, received, installed, took a couple of reboots before my TWC refurbished SA8300HDC unit recognized the WD and formatted it for use, and now have many hours to

    • I had to buy this particular unit to work with my TiVo Roamio television DVR
    • the unit was working perfectly after a short 15 minutes set-up time
    • Great unit!
    • Alas, 3 or 4 hours later, the unit works fine.
    • However, the unit didn't work at all and when I contacted Western Digital, they said it was Tivo's problem; then I called Tivo and they said it was WD's problem
    • I suspect that reviewers who say it does not work with a Tivo HD unit had a defective unit or cable, powered off and on in the wrong sequence, or were impatient and bailed out while the Tivo was still reconfiguring during the initial boot-up
    • After Tivo initiated a 3-way conversation with Tivo, WD, and me, we all agreed the unit worked fine (because it worked fine when connected to a computer with the supplied USB cable) and Tivo said I had the latest firmware

    • This unit has not given me any problem but there is a slight problem that I think lies with the dvr
    • Nice affordable unit, though.
    • Because I wanted the item right away I had to give them my credit card which they charged for the replacement unit pending me returning the defective unit which will then issue a refund.
    • I plugged the unit into our Comcast Motorola DVR and it works just fine.
    • Don't bother with a 1 TB expander...regardless of the brand, units are not necessarily compatible with the 8300HD.
    • This is the second unit I have purchased and both units have been working perfectly.
    • Both units have had the same problem
