    HDD questions

    I'm after an 80gb HDD for my Starview 4, just got a few questions...

    - Does it need to have an external power supply or can it be powered by the box?

    - Been looking at a few and some say 2.5" hard drive and some say 3.5"...is there any difference (any that work/are best for using?)

    I've found this one that seems cheap enough. Would something like this be ok? (They can also supply it formatted in FAT32 as well which saves me a few minutes!)

    Hi, I dont know much about that particular drive but i do know that a 3.5 hdd is way bigger than a 2.5. Also a 3.5 hdd needs its own power lead whereas a 2.5 is usually ran from the existing power supply.
    Hope that helps some. You could try wiki.
