Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) are revolu­tionizing the way people watch television,
offering unprecedented control over how
and when you watch. DVRs are so useful
that users can quickly fill them up, saving

programs for a weekend movie marathon
or Superbowl extravaganza. The Maxtor QuickView Expander™is the
industry’s first external hard drive that instantly adds more recording
hours to your DVR or set-top box by attaching to your already installed
DVR*. Like all good ideas, it seems obvious, now that somebody’s
thought of it.

The QuickView Expander external hard drive provides up to 300 hours
of high-speed storage for set-top boxes equipped with external Serial
ATA ports. The drive takes advantage of the Maxtor QuickView storage
technology that powers most of today’s DVRs. Maxtor QuickView hard
drives are designed for streaming media applications and offer excep­tional performance and advanced features that enhance the digital
entertainment experience.

How does it work?

The QuickView Expander external hard

drive attaches to your DVR or set-top box.

First, contact your service or cable provider

to confirm availability in your area. Once

you receive your new QuickView Expander

external hard drive, simply plug the drive

into a wall outlet and connect it to your

DVR to prepare for the ultimate entertain-

ment experience!

For content providers

Why not offer a more efficient DVR product

line while saving on developmental costs,

production costs and inventory costs?

Modular storage lets your customers

offer a single model with either no storage

or a small amount of storage on board.

The QuickView Expander external hard

drive then allows end users to buy storage

as a separate, easily connected component.

Modular storage is the kind of

differentiating feature that can set

your DVR solutions apart.
