We touched on that thought a little in an earlier DVRA thread, I don't think anyone tried it, nor do I know if it's possible to simply add a HD to the DVRA.  Perhaps with the newer firmware it'll be possible, but I have no working understanding of how IDE controllers or the likewise work.

Anyone with some knowledge care to chime in?

the HD lacks mirroring ability and is USB 2 only...but I dont care about that personally..
