Hi all
I have an Amstrad DRX780 UK-C HD box & have just installed a Samsung HD103SJ 1TB drive as an upgrade to the standard 320 GB Western Dig drive that came with the unit originally! I used the Copy Plus 1.2.0.8 version (plus the XTVFS driver running to protect my original HD) & it copied the data from the 320 GB drive succesfully to the new 1TB drive .. no problems at all on the copy process!
Now firstly, once completed Copyplus said the original 320 GB drive was now in a dodgy state & should not be put back in the box as it would erase all the data on this drive!
But I thought : "What the hell, I have a new shiny 1TB drive anyway so no matter!"
Closed everthing back up & powered up the box! Everything went fine & dandy .. at first! But since then (about a week ago) I've had 2 lock ups (never had any before in the 18 months I've had the box!). These both occured when I was trying to record something & do a live pause playback at the same time!
Now I'm aware that this sissue has been mentioned before on this forum but wondered if its resolvable at all? Cos I'm totally feeling having the new drive with its much larger capacity! But I'm concerned about reliabilty issues and further lock ups/crashes in the future! And it does also seem a little odd as the new Samsung drive has I expect a higher spec than the original WD drive? Or maybe thats nothing to do with it!
So, any advice would be massively appreciated & all suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks in hopeful advance
Daniel
