[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1004143, member: 176704"] Fine - you appear to know what you're doing but I would still avoid 2.5" drives! In "my defence" on the subject of the 89o's, I didn't find out about the AV issues for sometime after I upgraded the 1st box, which then failed and I bought the 2nd one - after that one failed was when I [I]did[/I] find out and bought the 895. OTOH, when I went to fix the 2nd failed 890 up as a "spare", I bought what was advertised as a WD AV "Green" drive (that's what the fuzzy image seemed to show) for a Sky HD box upgrade from an ebay supplier - but when it turned up, it was a Seagate unit which I immediately tracked down to be a normal desktop drive unit. The guy who sold me that got a real "flea in his ear" about that the same morning it arrived, and he rolled over and accepted the return without a whimper - so he knew what he was selling (the lying "person").:mad: [/QUOTE]
