DM800HD Pro with large heat sink, now has a L shaped sata connector

[j1mgg]

Just got a new dm800pro and it has the new heat sink, but has came with an L shaped sata connector.

Basically means an internal sata drive should fit but will now need to see what the room above the disk is like, but on first impressions it looks good.

It is also possible some retailers are shipping dm800pros with L3 tuners and not advising the seller.

Will update when i get home

I notice that one well known Chinese supplier is offering DM800 with L3 tuner at a discounted price, it must be tempting for any seller using them to drop-ship.

It was a supplier that I have now changed from probably to that well known one. It also could have been a buyer pulling a fast one

This is it as normal with the L shaped sata, pretty tight and is right up against the heat sink

This is it if you use double sided tape and push as much to the right as you can, also need a shorter screw to hold the cradle

I thought i would also try this aswell. HDD is attached using screws and the cradle is attached using a short screw again

All work fine and the lid goes back on.

nice to see the manufacturers are constantly trying to improve the design, nevertheless all the clone knockers will still find something to criticise
