In addition, we have released 8TB self-install kits for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/tivo-roamio-tcd846500.php\">Roamio<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/tivo-roamio-tcd848000.php\">Roamio Plus<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/tivo-roamio-pro-tcd840300.php\">Roamio Pro<\/a>. All 8TB products are in stock and shipping. Each unit contains a 4TB internal hard drive and an external 4TB drive. As always, we use only drives specially made for DVRs.<\/p>\n<p>An aside for those still reading: When we launched our 4TB Plus and Pro, many emailed to ask about the differences between the 4TB Plus and 4TB Pro. If you look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weaknees.com\/tivo-roamio-comparison.php\">TiVo Roamio Comparison Chart<\/a>, you&#8217;ll see that the only difference between these units from the factory is the size of the internal drive. Once we remove the factory drive and install a new one, the units become identical (aside for the word &#8220;Plus&#8221; vs &#8220;Pro&#8221; on the front of the unit). So while we offer the Pro in a 4TB capacity, we see no reason to spend the money on the Pro over the Plus unless you have some super-geeky friends that would be impressed by the word &#8220;Pro&#8221; on the front. We offer the 4TB Pro for those who, for that reason or whatever other reason, just want it.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true for the 8TB Plus and 8TB Pro. We recommend that you save your money and get the Plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After weeks of testing (it takes a LONG time to fill up an 8tb unit and put it through its paces!), we&#8217;ve finally launched three 8TB units: The 8TB TiVo Roamio, 8TB TiVo Roamio Plus and 8TB TiVo Roamio Pro.
