How does this Seagate SkyHawk 2TB SATA III 3.5" HDD at CCL for £56.97 look? TIA. Sorry cant post links.

I get where you are coming from! I'm trying to keep my costs down but theres always buy cheap, buy twice! I think I've seen this scam on Ebay now that you've alerted me this process, like "clocking" on a car. Yes, there is the extra £6 to get 2 year accident and breakdown cover?!" I'm going to...

If the SMART data is reset, does that mean the data is completly erased or can it be recovered? TIA

Thanks for your fast reply! When I was referring to the FOX i was thinking freeview HD recorder so the HDR-FOX T2. The custom firmware mentioned hard drives above 2tb and I've seen mentioned in peoples footer posts owners of FOX T2 with 4tb hard drives. I need to do a bit of thinking in regards...

Hi. I've been a long time user of PVR's from the old thomson to various Humax boxes. Some of them have played up (maybe dodgy Ebay sourced ones. So i've been eyeing up a replacement and to be less frugal on my next one. I thought it would be wise to get a large size HD (I thought 2tb was the...
