MDD MQ04ABB400 4TB 5400RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6 0Gb s 2 5in Hard Drive 15mm Thickness for TiVo

As many of stated here, I use this to replace the hard drive in my TiVo edge. Swap to this was very easy, but before you do be aware, you need a special tool to get the screws out of the bottom of the TiVo edge. Also be aware that this drive is thicker than the two gig hard drive that comes in the TiVo originally. I could not put the top bracket on and close the lid so I left the bracket off and basically force snapped everything closed, but everything works perfectly. Read more

Works perfectly as a replacement hard drive for my TiVo edge DVR! Automatically uses 3tb of the 4tb available on this drive (which is 50% more recording space than the 2tb drive that came with the TiVo edge). I think there is also software out there that will allow the full 4tb capacity of this drive to be used, but I haven't tried doing that yet. Great price too! Read more

Well, I know that disclaimer says that it’s not intended for notebooks, laptops, and things of that nature there are exceptions like my MSI raider laptop it actually fit in the hard drive slot with the bracket and the cover on it perfectly giving my laptop the ultimate amount of extra HDD storage Read more

Using the drive in a MiniPC for Plex where we put family movies, etc. The MiniPC has a NVME drive for the operating system, but the 4TB hard drive is the video storage. It's been running for 15 months straight, no issues. I see that the price has gone up from 73 when I purchased it to 109 today in Julyof24 for this drive, but seeing higher drive prices across the board. This drive (and MiniPC) sit below my desk, as you can tell by the dust in the photo (they'll get a good cleaning in a few weeks). And I never hear any noise from the setup, so the drive is pretty quiet. Performance-wise, we access the videos on the drive using the Plex app on the Fire TV's in the house and haven't ever had any stutter or skipping or issues like that. The QuickSync function on the MiniPC's Intel CPU does its part to be able to serve the video to the Fire TV, but the hard drive is able to keep up just fine. Shipping was fast, good packaging, no damage, drive does a good job. The drive is slightly thick and I can see why they say that it won't fit in most laptop computers. Even in the HP MiniPC in the photo, it fit in the bracket, but I took off the top lever of the bracket so this drive would fit ok. Other than that, the drive bolted into the bracket-tray fine.

I bought this hard drive back in December 2023 to expand my eufy home base 3 storage. The hard drive work fine until recently when i heard a clicking noise coming coming from my homebase3. When i check the app and past videos it was not been recorded. I went on homebase setting and i notice error "HDD format error". Then i went into my storage setting it showed there HDD was unavailable and i need to format. To my surprise the hard drive was unable to be format. According to description it says there is a 3 yrs warranty on the hard drive. I reached out to the seller and i haven't heard back. Its. I waited one week and I went ahead and order a SSD instead of another HDD, because i needed my cameras up and running ASAP. So far the SSD is doing better job than the HDD. Only time will tell how this SSD will last. Hopefully longer then the HDD. I would strongly recommend to stay away from this seller. Read more

Warranty that you could actually use: 1. 3 Years 2. PRE-PAID return label 3. NO registration required! (Just look up your Amazon order history for order number and date purchased.) I would have liked it to come with mounting screws but it does say in the description that it does not. Correct size and works great for Eufy Home Base 3 (model "S380 Home Base) expansion as stated in another review. Just unplug the Home Base 3, install the hard drive, plug it back in and Format it through the Eufy app. Operates 100% silent and way less expensive per Terabyte than other drives on Amazon. This drive came up when I searched for "Surveillance" drives. I don't see the word "Surveillance" anywhere on the drive (there was no packaging) that verified my search results were accurate. The Amazon description for uses say it would be good for my application. Non-surveillance drives CAN be used BUT they will just fail sooner than surveillance drives. Surveillance drives are built to be running 24/7 365. My Eufy Base 3 only records when there is motion so maybe not required but I would like to know I have the right drive for the application. Quality seems great so far but I've only had it installed for a few days, so time will tell. Read more

Bought this drive to replace a failed TiVo Bolt hard drive. No issues replacing the drive or getting the TiVo to auto install. Read more

Pretty easy to replace… it has a huge capacity. It’s slightly thicker than the default size drive. It’s a bit noisier but certainly not unusable! Just hoping it lasts! Read more
