Amstrad DRX890

Postby peterclarke » Wed Mar 09, 2011 1:26 pm

Hi everyone, first time poster here.

I want to replace the 500G Seagate Pipeline drive in my Amstrad DRX890 HD box.
Has anyone upgraded this unit to 2Tb ? or is it safer to go for 1Tb ?

Has anyone had a complete 100% success with a certain make/size of drive and if so which one?


HELP!!! PLEASE

Yes, lots of people.
Read the post on the Darwin EPG version in the FAQ section first.
Do NOT choose an Advanced Format (4K sectors) drive.

Ideally same make and model series as the existing drive. Otherwise check the forums posts.
I have not upgraded this box personally, so can not recommend anything.
