| Compatibility | |
| * All
TenBoxes TB1000, TB1500, TB2000 and TB3000 are compatible with
all DirecTV Plus HD DVR except for HR21-100 and HR22-100 which
are compatible with TB1000 and TB1500. Since DirecTV upgrades
their DVR's software periodically, it is possible that these
models will accept larger external capacities in the future.
** DirecTV Plus HD DVRs are not ready yet to function with 3TB external capacity. Until then, the TenBox TB3000 works perfectly when setting the “Box Mode” to Mirror Drive configuration, safely recording programs as duplicate on its 2 - 1.5 TB HDD, so programs are not lost in the event of single drive failure. |

|
| External Interfaces SATA/USB dual mode USB 2.0: up to 480 Mbps eSATA : SATA I - Up to 1.5 Gbps eSATA : SATA II - Up to 3 Gbps TenBox connects to the DirectTV Plus HD DVR always at the full 3Gb/s assuring the highest level of performance & bandwidth and uninterrupted video delivery capability - up to 10 television streams at once. |

|
| SATA Hard Drives |
 |
| 2 high performance SATA Hard Drives with multiple stream
recording capability (up to 10 television streams at
once)
optimized to deliver smooth video recording and playback
with quiet HDD operation (operating acoustics as low as 2.7 bels for near-silent
operation). Improved stream integrity through time-limited commands: "Hard drives designed for PC applications are optimized for data integrity through enhanced error detection and correction routines". Consumer video recording devices, however, need to be optimized for stream integrity to avoid problems caused by over-execution of error checking, which can cause problems in consumer video recording devices. Reduced power consumption. |

eSATA HDD
Controller |
 |
| RAID SATA controller with
Plug-n-Play capability, the TenBox is also
compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
environments. Box mode switch selects 2 operating modes: "0" for maximum storage capacity (striped drive), capacities of both hard disk drives are combined. "1" operates at half the maximum capacity, storing programs in "mirrored drive" configuration, so programs are not lost in the event of single drive failure. |

| 3 Ultra-quiet low-noise
magnetic levitation
system fans : utilizing the attraction of the
magnetic levitation force, Magnetic Levitation
eliminates the wobbling and shaking problems of
traditional motor fans. Fan speed selection switch. Elastomeric hard drive and fan mounts: stop the transfer of structural vibration from the drives and fans to its mounting structure for less sound radiation and quieter operation. |
