[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 475024, member: 184030"] First of all, welcome to the forum :) hard drives in PVRs are best when they are 5600rpm.. 7200 just runs hotter. the extra speed can be seen in a PC, but in a PVR the improvement to performance is nil. Not alot you can do about that now though :D i would recommend taking it off your sky box too, and move your VAR folder to the USB stick and avoid multibooting images using the HDD if you use an image on the hard drive, then even when your watching TV (not recording) your drive is spinning up all the time, reading the image.... this causes a lot of heat. so i recommend using just a flash image and storing all your cams,plugins and keys on the usb stick ;) lastly, when turning off the Dreambox press and hold standbye (on the remote) and choose shutdown, to completely turn it off.... giving it a chance to cool properly ;) [/QUOTE]
