SkyHD hdd upgrade

[RobDee]

My SkyHD box has a Seagate ST3300820SCE hdd (300GB). It's a Samsung make from circa 2009-10. Beside the disk filling up with a couple of HD live football recordings (or F1 qualifier and race) - I also suffer from playback of recordings freezing intermittently. I am considering replacement of hdd to a 1T or even 2T disk. I've been through a number of forums on various sites and I get conflicting information every day - adding to my frustration. Anyone with a reliable reference for accurate information regards type/model of hdd I should consider. Will Copy+ work? How I can get hd box to maximise personal storage on hdd. Is it not just cheaper to get the 1TB SkyHD box upgrade (?149).

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

tells you almost everytrhing you need to know

I upgraded the 890 from 500 gig to 2TB for about ?85, so yes its worth it. the one inside most boxes is a seagate but I used a WD green. I know ebuyer had a deal on this week for a seagate green 2TB drive for about ?80
