On the way to an external HDD for my Tivo Bolt, a funny thing happened!!

My new Tivo Bolt recently replaced my Verizon DVD box. With the addition of two mini's I've been enjoying new TV experience. The Verizon had twice the storage of my one TB Bolt so naturally I wanted to upgrade. After all, 150 hours or over six day's (of twenty-four hour straight) viewing might deprive some family member of keeping a show or movie that the'll never watch again.
If Verizon offers three hundred hours, it's time to play "Can You Top This!"
Thanks to this forum, I pieced together my parts list. (OK, I got the red drive idea from the forum and finding the box to hold the HDD was found on Amazon.)
Parts List: Vantec NexStar CX NST-300SU-BK 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 and eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure (Black) from Amazon and a WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD30EFRX from NewEgg.
The setup was straight forward: (Once the HDD was placed inside the enclosure)
Unplug the Bolt.
Connect the enclosed HDD with a eSATA cord between and the Bolt.
I plugged the enclosed HDD and its LED lite up.
I waited 15 seconds for the enclosed HDD to warm up.
I followed the on screen instructions.
The TV started up.
A sign came on asking me if I wanted to setup the additional drive. I clicked the OK and was promptly told my easy to install WD red drive was incompatible.
Am I dead in the water or is there hope?
HELP!!!
