Note that mine worked "for a while" and then locks up. maybe within 30-90 minutes depending.
Ahhh...I only tried it for less than 30 minutes. Probably less than 15 minutes. I just wanted to see what all the excitement was about, and know that I could do it if I wanted.

sprkeng, the replacement hard drive requires an external serial ATA (eSATA) drive, which are available at just about any computer-related resaler. (Best Buy, TigerDirect, etc.) Some eSATA drives come with a cable. You need the eSATA cable and drive, connected to the SATA port of the HR21-700. Power up the drive and reboot the HR21-700...and you're in business.

Do a search on these forums for more details; there's been tons of posts on the subject.
