[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1099914, member: 176704"] [USER=176362]@Analoguesat[/USER] A couple more thoughts from my own experience: - I tried to upgrade a DRX890 with a much larger disk,, but, after about 4-6 months of not terribly heavy use, I started to get a lot of stuttering when playing back recorded programmes but the box did not lock up completely - and the same thing happened when I (foolishly!) bought another one from ebay that had been "upgraded" - OTOH, the DRX895 that I found in a LIDL carpark bin several years ago DID lock up when I tried to record anything, or tried to playback anything on the disk - and that one was "fixed" by a Factory Reset and appeared to work fine afterwards. Therefore, I now tend to think that your box may not have a failed disk, but really needs that Reset, a[I]nd then[/I] don't let the disk get[I] ANYWHERE[/I] near "full" - my "rule of thumb" with the current DRX895 is to never let the free space drop[U] below 40%,[/U] and to try to keep it at around 50%, and, so far, that's worked since I bought it in 2012/2013.
