This morning, great-grand-daddy DVR manufacturer TiVo announced that
the company is aiming big with its next DVR, the TiVo Mega. With a
release date currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, the
Mega will come in a 10-bay, 19" rack-mount enclosure that appears to
be 4U tall, judging from the PR images. The Mega's bays will be
filled with hard drives in a RAID5 array, yielding 24TB of storage.
The press release doesn't say what drive types or capacities are
used, but some quick RAID math shows that if all 10 bays are
populated, the Mega likely uses 3TB drives, which would give it
roughly 25TB of usable space before TiVo's software is loaded.
