New HDD advice required

A simple SMART dump would be more informative than any of the above. However, as the man said, he just wants an excuse to get a new disk.
Nothing wrong with that - that's why I now have a 4TB in mine after all! : )
 
Hi,

My HDD is old and knackered so i want to replace it with a 1TB HDD, perhaps larger. Can anyone answer these questions:

- if i backup the encrypted files on my old hdd and restore them on my new hdd, will they work? Is the encryption linked to the drive or to the main pcb?

- i presume that i just drop in the new hdd and select format option in humax menu and job done, if 1tb?

- can anyone recommend a good compatible 1tb drive - is red or green best?

- as above but for >1tb?

- i understand that hdd >1tb requiring partitioning to work? Is this something that can be done using custom fw (which i already have installed)?

Thanks.

Up to 2TB the box will partition and autoformat the drive for you completely automatically. You need a low power AV specced design. Humax generally use Seagate Pipeline Drives.
