    You can use any (SATA) HDD.
    When chosing a 3.5" HDD make sure it's one specific for PVR (meaning a.o. that it is running on 5400/5700RPM).

    3" drive doesn't exist (you mean 3.5")
    All are pretty much the same, 3.5" is better value for money yet 2.5" is quieter and runs cooler.
    If you do get a 3.5" look for one of those "green" type drives as they run cooler and have a better lifespan.
    Stay away from the faster 7200rpm drives (they work fine but are allot hotter and have a higher failure rate)

    2.5" is not quieter and cooler than a dedicated PVR 3.5" HDD (and the latter are bigger/cheaper)
