Sky's the limit I believe, I've seen 1TB drives being used.
This is a 250GB kit,

I'll be interested in how it goes, our HD box is full of Trisha, Jeremy Kyle, Market Kitchen, The Restaurant, Holby, Casualty, X Fcukter, How to loose 3 stone in 24 hours, My husband is a tree creature from the Planet Zog, Worlds weirdest tumours, all sorts of dross, I barely have room for Megastructures, Mythbusters, Worlds Biggest fixes, Ice Road Truckers, Axmen, Strictly Come Dancing.

All sorted 500GB drive arrived yesterday at work so I brought it home and set about doing the job. Took apart my sky box first which was easy, 3 screws on the back, case off, 4 screws holding the drive to the motherboard (set on rubber dampers) and four screws holding the drive to the adaptors. No need for a torx one, though I believe the SkyHD does use them.
Then downloaded the copy + software and took apart my PC to attach the sky drive. Copied everthing off it, took about 40 mins.
Then whacked in my new 500GB drive. Word of warning, do not try to format the drive, just leave it as a basic drive, not dynamic. That was my only mistake as the copy + software does not recognise a formatted drive.
Then I just copied everything back.
One word of advice, there is the Anytime planner that Sky bung on whether you like it or not so you will find tons of programmes that appear whether you like it or not. Just deselect them when you copy back.
Then I bunged the drive back in and powered on. All good
Went from 16% free to 85% free
Note: the fan is on constantly now so I suggest you upgrade the fan to a SILENX fan at some point as it is noisy

Just for your info people, forget the silent fans you see online
Ordered one of these for £20
Home and I have gone, in the space of 5 mins, from a noisy fan that was ALWAYS on, to near silent.
A blooming perfect solution
