Western Digital just released its My DVR Expander External Hard Drive USB Edition that is compatible with DISH Network ViP-series HD DVRs, offering a 500GB capacity that is able to hold up to 60 hours of High Definition programming and five times that amount in standard definition. All it takes to hook up to a DVR is a USB 2.0 connection - this is a more convenient approach compared to Western Digital's previous iteration of the Expander that uses an eSATA interface instead. The My DVR Expander USB Edition drive will retail for $150.
