Hi I am sorry, but Hitachi has had the 1TB recorder out for some time.
So Pioneer is not the largest. HITACH DH1000W is a 1TB recorder.
Although the hardware in that machine is a piece of crap.
I prefer my X-300 even if it only has 400GB. At least the MPEG2 encoder is up to spec.

No problem
Just thought you should know.
I played with the DH1000W for a couple of days but returned it.
Mostly due to the really standard and cheap ram-dac the quality wasn't too hot. (The buttons also felt like they would fall off if you pressed them too hard) So I changed it for a X300 from Panasonic.

If you buy a HDD recorder for yourself, check out if the ram-dac they have in it is a standard one or a tweaked/created for the device one. If it's a cheap standard one, you can bet your 2000 yen notes on it that the rest of the components are crap as well.
