what size hard drive does the four channel dvr use

It doesn't come with a HDD and you can pop in any size, I don't think size matters. There's also an usb port, I haven't tried using an external HDD though.

I am sorry but I never bought the hard drive, in the instructions booklet it describes the size recommended, it depends on the amount of time you want to record and keep on your hard drive.

You have to buy one separately and install it. It's quite easy. But a 100g will give you about a months worth of recording.

Be warned! I mistakingly bought this one not knowing it didn't include a hard drive.

Amazon is your best bet for selection and price for an internal hard drive. Just make sure it has the right SATA connectors for your DVR

If you go to NewEgg and type "ORICO 6518SUS3", the specs call for up to 4TB but I personally have never used that large of hard drive so far. I have had good luck with both of mine. Oddly, if you go the orico website "http://www.orico.com.cn/en/ProductInfo.aspx?typeid=50&id;=2299", they don't say anything regarding that. If manufactures don't give you specifics, then how are you able to make a decision. I see this all the time. I just don't get it.

Yes and no, I have two of them (2TB and 4TB), the 2TB is 7200 but the 4TB is 5900. It appears all of them are 7200 except for the 4TB. The models of the actual (internal) drives are ST2000DM001 and ST4000DM000. In case you want to google some more.

TIVO recommends only Western Digital's "My DVR Expander", which currently comes in two sizes: 500GB or 1000GB (one terrabyte). Currently (Jan. 2010) the 1000GB model is back-ordered on all the web-sites I checked. I did find four available at Best-Buy in Bellevue, WA, for $169.95. Be sure to get the eSATA input, as it also comes in a USB 2.0 form.

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0

It depends on what type of hard drive and the specifications needed for your model of security DVR. My best advice would be to contact the manufacturer of your security DVR. Sorry to be so vague, but there are just too many types of security DVRs and hard drives.

You could possibly use this 3.5 inch drive if you purchase the new nyko databank which allows you to use 3.5 inch HDDs but dont use anything higher than 4TB.

Hard drive is located inside the DVR Box. This model is not equipped with HDD. You need to install the HDD inside the DVR Box.

The 1TB and 2TB versions of this drive are 7200RPM, the 4TB version is 5900RPM. REF: http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/sshd-fam/desktop-sshd/en-us/docs/100726566c.pdf

Depend what sizes of hard disk's you installed in this machine. 4 x 4TB = 16TB is the Max.

Can take up to 2 hard drives, 4 Tb each. When drive 1 is full it will start recording on drive 2. When drive 2 is full it will go back to drive 1 and start overwriting it.

To be honest, I am not really sure. I put a WD 1TB Green Drive, which other people had issues with in other DVR's & I did not have any problems.

Hi.I also have the Videotron Illico Explorer 8300HD + the WD My DVR expander 500Gb. Everything works perfectly. I'm considering buying the 1Tb version, but would like to know for sure if there's a compatibility problem before buying.

Do not know. TIVO rates the size of the hard drive by the number of hours of programming that can be stored.
