Today, Western Digital announced the newest in its line of “My (fill-in-the-blank)” external storage peripherals with the My DVR Expander. The unit is being advertised as “TiVo verified” with options for 500GB and 1TB of expansion.

This is certainly a boon for TiVo users, particularly the HD folks. Consumers should be able to record about 100 hours of HD or 400 hours of standard video on the 1TB drive. Hopefully Western Digital has managed to solve the circuit board failures associated with the My Book series of drives. I’ve heard horror stories involving the drives just powering down mid transfer. Not cool when I’m trying to get my Dexter on.
