Recommended HDD for Pace V1? (!!!!!)
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:42 pm
Hello,
I have a Pace V1 Sky+ box that I upgraded in November '08 with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500Gb drive (ST3500630A).
The drive is playing up a bit and I'm in the process of trying to recover it by making a backup through Copy+, then restoring it from the copy (it worked last time this happened in November).
If the worst happens and the drive dies, what's the current recommendation for a replacement in the Pace V1? I've looked and the Seagate is no longer available, it seems. Are there any alternatives?
Thanks,
Peter
PS Thanks for the Copy+ software. Truly great and soooo useful.
Edit: Just checked the warranty and looks like the drive is covered until June 2013. So hooray for me. I'd still like to know if there's an alternative, however, so I can upgrade my OTHER V1 box that I keep as a spare...
