D-Link has several high-speed USB 2.0 devices that you can pick up for under $30. We take a look at the DUB-A2, a USB 2.0 two-port PCI adapter, the DUB-H4, a USB 2.0 four-port hub, and the DUB-E100, a USB 2.0 fast Ethernet adapter.

At 480Mbs, USB 2.0 blows the doors off of USB 1.0. We have an IOGEAR Impulse CDRW and an IOGEAR ION Drive to show you the performance increases when moving from USB 1.1 to USB 2.0. We also show how USB 2.0 stacks up against the same drive as an IDE device.

Adding more storage space to your TiVo is almost as simple as adding a second hard drive to your PC. But it definetely wouldn't have been this simple if TiVo hadn't decided to use Linux for its operating system. Armed with two hard drives, the use of some freely available utilities, this article, and some free time, you, too, can get more recording time out of your TiVo.
