As you mentioned there were no warranty stickers on it either.
I wrote that the item is obviously not new and had a dented casing. Refund was confirmed immediately and it's being collected tomorrow.
It came in just a thin bit of bubble-wrap in an Amazon book delivery bit of cardboard and was...
The replacement Seagate Pipeline 2TB disk arrived yesterday from Amazon.
I also noted that the manufacture date was March 2013 - that doesn't bother me, but there are about 10 dents in the metal disk casing - that does.
So that's going back in the morning.
Thank you all for your advice.
Glad I didn't jump in and get the WD.
I don't know of any particular AV disks but note the recommendation of a
Seagate ST2000VM003 - Pipeline HD (2TB) 3.5 inch Hard Drive (5900rpm) 6Gb/s SATA 64MB (Internal)
That Black Hole posted a link to.
Any reason not to go...
Hi Black Hole and thanks for your reply.
I see Amazon have the 2TB WD purple disks for £66 - I'll leave it a while just to ensure no one says not to use the WD Purple, then order it this evening.
I'm not too bothered loosing all the stuff on the old disk - most of it has been there for years and...
I've noticed jittery playback and diags reports the disk is failing - see attached.
I'm advised to go to disk diags which tells me there's a problem, but not how to fix it.
Any suggestions much appreciated
Thanks
Pete
