2 different speed Hard drives
Does anyone else here have a tivo using one 5400 hard drive and another that
is 7200? Or is that even workable? I had an impossible time finding any 5400 drives, much less of a decent size.

Don't worry about the RPM ratings as long as they are modern drives. Many newer 7200RPM drives run just as cool as 5400RPM drives did a couple years ago and some are even cooler and quieter due to newer technology.

I'm running a 7200 120gb Maxtor "Quietdrive", alongside the original 40gb. Seems OK so far and it's been a few weeks now. andyt
