Until Western Digital or Seagate launches a 5TB drive, we&#8217;re stuck here at a measly 8TB.

I&#8217;m struggling to come up with the appropriately-staggering example, but try these: If you set a 8TB Roamio Pro to record six channels, non-stop, it would run almost 9 days without running out of space. If you wanted to record just one channel, you could run 24\/7 for 53 days. That&#8217;s a lot of C-SPAN!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1525\" title=\"Roamio 8TB Upgrade!\" alt=\"roamio-plus-8tb-screenshot\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wkblog.com\/tivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/roamio-plus-8tb-screenshot.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wkblog.com\/tivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/roamio-plus-8tb-screenshot.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wkblog.com\/tivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/roamio-plus-8tb-screenshot-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wkblog.com\/tivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/roamio-plus-8tb-screenshot-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re hoping to start selling this monster soon.
