Need new 1 tb hard disk..
I want to buy a 1 tb hard disk for the Humax - the problem is I cannot find the name of the one I had before. Could some kind soul point me to a suitable caviar green? drive that would be suitable for pvrs on Amazon UK. I have looked but can't seem to find the one that I had before. I think it had AV somewhere in the title?

The Western Digital model that everyone seemed to be installing last year was the WD10 EVCS SATA 1TB Caviar Green AV-GP (the GP apparently stands for Green Power). It seems to have been discontinued. Western Digital are currently recommending the WD10 EVDS SATA 1TB AV-GP for PVRs/DVRs - Amazon have it here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digi...1929754&sr=8-1 These are the specs: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/librar...879-701250.pdf I haven't done an upgrade myself - maybe others have alternative suggestions/recommendations. |

This is what you're after
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=615
I have a 1TB version of this drive in my Humax, it is dead quiet, it is specifically made for PVR's and is also low power. I understand that if you go for a larger size than 1TB, the Humax cannot format it and you have to use a PC booted with linux to do the initial format. I fitted the The 1TB drive in the Humax in no time at all and it has been running in my PVR for about 3 months with no problems what so ever. |

If you swap hard disks, is there any way of copying what's on the old one to the new one?

Thanks, Graham. Still not sure I'm going to do this - is it worth 72 quid?
Perhaps I should just get a bit more disciplined! [90% of 320Gb used]. Tony |

And of course if Humax added USB 3 capability to the new model that would increase the transfer rate by 10 fold!
![]() GT - something to add to your wish list for the new model - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1251927 |
