To be fair, yes, that's pretty much standard operating procedure for a
TIVO, both mine are on UPS and never (well almost never) go down. That
said...

1. TIVO doesn't give you a 5-year warranty on the drive, they give you
one year warranty.

2. By far the most common failure mode for TIVO is hard drive death, and
it typically occurs outside warranty.

So using TIVO as an example doesn't really help his case.
