WD's My Library™ Video Edition™ Easily Adds Up to 60 Hours of High-definition Television Entertainment

Expanding consumers' TV recording capabilities by up to hundreds of hours, Western Digital Corp. today introduced its My Library™ Video Edition™ DVR Expander. Capable of storing up to 300 hours of digital standard-definition (SD) or 60 hours of high-definition (HD) television programming based on 500 GB of hard drive storage, consumers can instantly expand their recording capacity by simply attaching the DVR Expander to one of the millions of Scientific Atlanta 8300 DVR Series set-tops currently deployed in the U.S. The My Library Video Edition is perfect for consumers who need more room to store the ever-expanding HD entertainment options offered by their service providers.

My Library DVR Expander has been tested for compatibility with Scientific Atlanta 8300 Series digital video recorders (including models 8300 HD, 8300 MR and 8300 HD MR). Further compatibility of the My Library Video Edition DVR Expander is planned as other cable and satellite DVR manufacturers enable the eSATA (external SATA) ports on their currently-deployed DVRs.

The My Library Video Edition DVR Expander is available now in the United States. Pricing for My Library Video Edition DVR Expander with 500 GB is $199.99 USD (about €150).
