Doubling Roamio Pro Storage

Does the newer TiVo Roamio Pro have WD30EURS or WD30EURX

I am looking at increasing my storage in steps.
first add an external storage to double my current storage in my Roamio Pro.

Step 1: double storage of my Pro.
Does the newer TiVo Roamio Pro have WD30EURS or WD30EURX. I Purchased it last month and it was built in Mexico on Sept 18, 2014.
If I put a matching 3TB internal drive in an external drive case of my 1TB external drive, will it be recognized as a valid drive number in the TiVo drive number table and work my my TiVo Roamio Pro without any modifications?

If YES, then I will have 6 TB for a few years, without voiding my TiVo warranty.

Step 2: you 12 TB upgrade for $900.
Assuming no other changes, when I need more storage I can use that offered by WEAKNEES.
The WeaKnees 12TB (or greater upgrade at the time) for ~$900.

Step 3: much more storage (is Mega worth it?)?
The newer TiVo Roamio MEGA will give me 24TB at a cost of $5K.
My current raomio Pro has 3TB internal and 1TB external for a cost of about $600. the MEGA should be priced at about the same price point or 6 times the cost of my pro and ext storage. that would be $3600. At $5K it is way overpriced.

Step 4: TiVo ULTRA (UHDTV) THIS WILL BE THE FOUNDATION OF THE SERICES 6 DVRs (IMO).
Around Christmas this year TiVo may come out with it's ULTRA will will Have 4K recording capability, 6 tuners, may be a Roamio, have more storage and may also be a TiVo Series 6 UHD device with it's new UHDTV format.
UHDTV/UHD, HDTV/HD and SDTV/SD
