Older WD external hard drive with bolt

I just got a new bolt, after a couple of years away from TiVo. I have an older external hard drive from a previous TiVo (the WD one that TiVo supports) however it is an sata hard drive instead of the newer e sata. Does anyone know if this will work with the TiVo bolt if I get a sata to e sata cable (so I can plug it into the e sata port on the bolt). I don't want to bother getting the cable if the bolts don't support the older drives.

It just seems silly to pay for the newer 1 tb drives if I have a smaller drive from my last TiVo that works.
