Other HDDs for PVR5100

[monkeyb0yuk]

Hi,
just wondering if other drives maybe compatible apart from the WD scorpio & other (i cant remeber the name)...

I have got hold of a Hitachi travelstar 80gb drive?..
Could this work?..
And, is it safe to try it without damaging my unit?.

Thanks
Rich

I've got an old Toshiba 40GB HDD in my 5000. Works fine - didn't even have to break any tabs off!!

I'm sure most IDE HDD's will work it is just a matter of how well the pins are protected (ie. you need them exposed as much as possible, to prevent any "modifications".)
