can I use a Seagate in a Series 3?

I have a Series 3 (TCD652160) with lifetime and is running good. I recently got a Seagate 250GB SATA drive (from a friend's PC). After I run a full disk scan on it to make sure its OK, was going to throw it in this Series 3 TiVO HD (after i install an image on it with WinMFS). I know Western Digitals are the preferred brand, but can a Seagate one work just as well?
