Re: Beware of 1TB WD Caviar Green 64MB WD10EARS

just thought i'd add to this too. I replaced the drive in our amstrad drx780 and read this post while i was fitting it. To say the least i was very worried, but now after about two weeks, everything has been fab! before we had stuttering when watching a recorded HD program and sometimes when even watching HD live!!And it would take a full 15 seconds to change the channel!
i had done a full system reset previously but made no difference.
I put the new drive in, let the sky box format it then remove it, and use copy+ to backup and restore to the full 1TB size.
I also turned off that anytime nonsense, and the difference is a million times better. it would seem that the box must have had issues right from when we got it (about a year and a half ago).
But i must say that with our box and that drive- no problems at all!!
Fab!
