[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 646452, member: 325666"] Hi FC .. I've not yet tried to fit a larger drive but I see no reason why it would not work.. In actual fact I'm thinking of replacing my Hard Drive with a 2.5 inch sata 500gb ... I will have to 'create' a carrier or bracket to achieve this ..but I hope to gain .. a) less heat creation b) better air circulation for cooling around the drive and the inside of the box . c) less demand on the psu ( though I can't confirm this until I can compare the drives) d) less audible noise ..depending on which drive I choose I guess ..at the moment I'm awaiting the arrival of a stand alone drive clone unit from the far east ...which should make this process easier. ..insofaras ..I wont have to recreate my drive ..simply copy it and not have to start rebuilding the various images etc. As far as space required on the drive for each extra image ... This is minimal .. I simply had 2x extra 5gb partitions created and mounted prior to use ..leaving the remainder of the drive for the exclusive use of the whichever image is recording to the drive.. ok ..I lose a few gb of recording space but well worth it imo. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
