Albeit these little usb sticks have been around for awhile they are still growing in capacity. Because of the size they are easy to put in cars as a music depository. Also useful for receivers with USB or your router to serve as a music / photo hub.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Arguably the best menu system. It's HD graphics are the only one that look awesome on 4K TV's.(Settings menu is not HD quality as the main menu and this is how you can tell the difference) Once you set-up the Provider and paid services like Netflix or Amazon searching for your favorite shows is an absolute breeze. Commercial SKIP feature within selected recorded shows is out of this world.
Using the app on your tablet or phone takes it up a notch. You can also cast your Youtube videos from your phone to your TIVO. Adding a TIVO Mini will let you watch all your recorded shows and more. Still after all these years the main negative is painfully long programming download.
Otherwise this would be a five star review.

Apple - Mac mini - Intel Core i5 (1.4GHz) - 4GB Memory - 500GB Hard Drive - Silver
Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.
 
Better than any WPC priced $999+

Although Apple keeps closing the doors on user upgradability this unit sports features and technologies not seen on a WPC @ $999+.
Sadly Microsoft morons just simply cannot find the answer to remedy this despite the fact Thunderbolt and other tech are available to anyone not just Apple.. This little puppy is driving a UHD 28" Monitor without breaking a sweat or mouse delay as most others do. Albeit the 4gb of ram is hardly enough in today's world and thus presents the biggest regret. Workaround is to close all unnecessary open apps. Best yet it uses less energy than a laptop. If you are on the budget this can easily be your first, last and the only computer you need. Mind you this comes from a person that does not particularly like Apple's autocracy.

Stream, share and manage your data at home or on the go with this Seagate Personal Cloud STCR4000101 external USB hard drive, which features Ethernet connectivity for simple wireless access. The 4TB capacity provides generous storage space.
 

Does this support SMB / CIFS protocol? I want to use this to stream music to my SONO's speakers without having to turn on my computer.

This drive is NOT connected to the computer period. It is a standalone server that any Sonos would find immediately. Even your smart TV will see it so you can stream your video and photo library. Everything is automatically cataloged. Works with PLEX also.

If I have this HD setup to back up my iMac, can I upload files (.pdf, .doc, etc...) currently stored on a PC from work? If so, can I access those files on my iMac?

Resounding YES to all. You can also have Android, Linux files, Don't matter.
You can also sandbox your files and share them with your colleagues.
There is multiple USER option that you are in charge of as an Administrator.
WARNING! make sure to jot down your ADMIN password somewhere safe. If you lose it then you'll need to restore the drive to factory
with NO option to save your files.

Safely store up to 3TB of data on this WD My Book for Mac external hard drive, which works with Apple® Time Machine to simplify file backup and features password protection and hardware encryption to help protect your documents.
 

CanI download photos from a PC to this drive then onto my Mac?

Not Directly. You will format this drive either for MAC or PC. For dual platform use the CLOUD drives shown in the link below.
These drives are OS agnostic meaning they do not care if you are backing up Mac, PC, Linux, Android etc. Best yet you can sync remotely
anywhere there is internet. Watch the videos on the suggested products.

Can this be used with a 2.0 USB port?

I have a early 2008 iMac, only have 2.0 USB port or 800 firewire.
Most USB 3.0 are backward compatible. Your transfer speed will read completely different than the one posted for USB 3.0. 2008 iMac motherboard is 4x slower than todays iMac's.

DirectV uses their own version of TIVO with a similar experience.
This Roamio unit is either OTA HD broadcast or CABLE recorder
but not both at the same time.

I just cut the cord!!! I hooked up Amazon Fire streaming to my TV with HDTV Antenna. I have many local channels, Netflix, hula, etc. Can I hook this up to my TV to use as a DVR only to record shows since I don't need to use it as a streaming devise?

YES you can but there is a monthly fee. I have ROKU, Chromecast, Fire TV but TIVO is the only one I use all the time.

Can I connect to my old dvr & download programs to a dvr

I have a.magnavox HDR /with hdd & dvd. Can I connect them.
NO.
But there is a better solution. If you know how, transfer your DVR files to a PC or NAS and name the File ie MY OLD DVR.
Share that folder on the network and TIVO will find it and let you watch it.
BTW , Tivo will let you copy your shows to an external drive or your tablet so you can watch them on vacation.
