I'd like to upgrade the HD of this recorder that currently has 160GB. My understanding is I need a IDE HDD not SATA. Please can someone confirm if this is the right one?

Has anyone successfully upgraded this unit to 500GB?

Thanks

there is a lot of information on other forums about upgrading pioneer recorders hard drives
the pioneers do use ide,there is an ide drive in mine.
They have made it difficult to upgrade the drives,but all the information is on other forums in greater detail than you will find here.

Thanks beintot

My brain hurts after reading 24 pages about this. My friend, who is an IT Technician, told me to just get the HDD so he could upgrade it for me.

He even told me he could clone the old one to the new one but after reading your links I am not sure if his skill alone will be enough, as you said, they have made it difficult to upgrade the drives.

I don't have a service disk nor remote control for him to upgrade. Other thing that came to my attention is that not many UK users upgrade their Pioneer HDD, as many posts of that thread originated from USA.

I am not sure if UK models have the same restrictions but anyway I'll send my friend the link so that he can read and decide if he could still upgrade.

Thanks again
