WD External USB 500GB HDD for DISH Network
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Thu, May 15th, 2008
Doubling HD DVR recording
WD My DVR Expander"WD's My DVR Expander provides an ideal complement to the innovative archiving feature of DISH Network's award-winning line of ViP HD DVRs," said Jessica Insalaco, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for DISH Network. "Combined with the already industry-leading storage capacity of our DVRs, DISH Network customers can create and control their own on-demand programming -- reinforcing DISH Network's leadership in digital entertainment."
"With the continued expansion of available HD programming, there is a growing consumer demand for additional storage. The My DVR Expander USB Edition allows DISH customers to record more HD programs without worrying about having to delete their favorite shows," said Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD's branded products and consumer electronics businesses.
The new drives include a unique no-fan passive cooling system and an eco-friendly WD AV-GP hard drive with GreenPower technology, making it quiet and ideal for use in living rooms or bedrooms, while consuming up to one-third less power than standard external hard drives.
The My DVR Expander USB Edition external hard drive has been successfully tested for compatibility with DISH Network ViP Series HD DVRs. Further compatibility of the My DVR Expander drive is planned as other cable and satellite DVR manufacturers enable the USB ports on their currently-deployed DVRs.
Availability and Pricing
WD's My DVR Expander USB Edition external hard drive is available now in the United States. MSRP for the My DVR Expander USB Edition drive with 500 GB is $149.99 USD.
