    Which HDD for Eurovox 5000?


    Hi
    Purchased a Eurovox 5000 a few months ago and now thinking of getting the HDD to go with it.
    Have found a couple but not sure which one is best.

    Western Digital WD1600AAJB 160GB Hard Drive 7200rpm 8MB Cache for ?37.68
    or
    120GB 5400rpm 2.5" Western Digital ATA Hard Drive for ?54.99

    Are they both compatable, why is there such a difference in price?
    Any advice gratefully received.

      m8 get the SEAGATE 120GB 2.5" IDE HARD DRIVE. This seems to be the best compatible unit with Eurovox boxes.
      Western digital drives will give you problems and some do NOT fit proper.

              What format does it have to be before you insert it? (FAT OR NTFS)

                      what do you mean by which format? Do I have to do something to the hdd when it comes or just simply put it in the machine? Sorry, new to all this stuff.

                          Your new HDD will be OK m8.
                          Just stick it in tight and it should work.
                          If you encounter any problems, come back and will advise.

                              Thanks Bad Apple. The hdd works fine, no problems at all, just put it in and it worked straight away.
                              Thanks for all your help.
