I know it's stupid o'clock on sunday morning

As per the title, is the WD20EFRX 2TB a good choice for the Humax ?. I'm assuming (and hoping) that because it's primarily recommend for NAS drives that it'll be ideal for a PVR with a reasonable amount of usage - not high, but not low either.

I'll leave this here until you're up at a more respectable time

I wouldn't use one in a pvr. A NAS drive doesn't have to cope with a specific area of the hard drive being constantly written (The time shift buffer area). The 2TB WF drives designed for pvr use are WD20EURS/EURX.

These models are also extremely quiet in operation.

thanks for the reply .. I did actually order a red earlier unfortunately so I'll have to see if I can change it or at least return it.

Picked up the WD20EURX 2TB drive today and the installation was an absolute doddle. Booted the box back up and it recognised and formatted the drive immediately - gives about 1.8TB free for recording space which is perfect.
