Amen to that! (Although that's why I bought two- in case I screw one up.)

Two! 
You must be planning on doing some heavy duty mods.
I'm sitting here this morning waiting for Mr. DHL man to bring my 120GB drive. I'll post the results tonight or tomorrow.  |

New hard drive in and running! I have 107.29GB worth of storage now. 
The Terminal+gpt method of expanding the Media partition worked like a charm. I would not go out and buy iPartition. I would also suggest that you only tear off the rubber pad down to the second set of screws that secure the hard drive. The pad pretty much loses all of its stick once you rip it off. This leaves you with enough stick to hold it on. If anyone has any questions, let me know. |

Congrats! I'm glad to hear the upgrade went smoothly for you. I might be following suit in a couple of weeks if I can get an Apple TV for around $250. |

How about some mod pictures.
$250? Where do you get it for that? |

Hey Ben_Tex,
I'm wanting to put a drive in my ATV. The biggest I can find is a 250GB from WD. So, a couple of questions:
1.) Do you (or anyone) know if there is a bigger drive out there?
2.) What is this Terminal + gpt method? (I know what Terminal is, just not gpt)
Do you have a link to these instructions? This is all I know of:
OWC - ATV upgrade instructions
Thanks in advance!

This thread has all the answers hackersmovie. I've used the method several times. You don't need any special software.

I'm not sure about a hard drive over 250GB. I would need to look around. |

Yeah, 250GB is about it. I don't know what I was thinking about before. I have pink eye and it's giving me a wicked headache. I'm not sure if it's from squinting at the screen, the drops or what.  |
