I've got a 320GB Maxtor disk installed in my 7025. It's given two years reasonable service until recently. Lately however if my 7025 is booted from cold or deep standby the disk won't start up. The 7025 will however boot up but without a HDD present.
The workaround I have right now is to do a warm reboot of Enigma and this always results in the HDD working after the reboot. Ideally I like to put the box into deep standby at night to save power however recently I just keep it in normal standby so recordings won't fail.
Should I junk the disk and replace it with a newer one or is there something I can do to get the disk going again? It strikes me that two years isn't that long a lifespan for a HDD.... |
