Cheers I merged the two posts together, as I know you were restricted to the amount of pics on one post.

We can keep them all on your first post and it will show all on one post.

You got the right hard drive m8 ?

[allycoops]

should it not be a 2.5 sata drive not 3.5 hdd???

[moses5]

Turns out I have the exact same model as in the pics! handy.

3.5 is fine. I just was confused, doesn't fit like in a PC!

[dell_xps]

Yup 3.5, you can also fit a 2.5 using the brackets.

After purchasing a VU+ this week and looking at this i now know i need at 3.5" sata, i had a 2.5 caddy 320 gb external which may do, but have you seen the price of 1TB 3.5 Sata recently, and i can't even get a discount and i work for Cgate

Trying to fit my HDD now, Can't see how the brackets will work with a 2.5" HDD it will still move about even under the brackets is that correct?

The standard cradle that comes with the Duo is only suitable for 3.5" HDD's unless they have changed it since i got mine. The one that comes with the Uno however is suitable for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives.

I'll upload some photos of both on Thursday when i get a day off work to show the differences. ( i have to do a fresh install on both for testing purposes any way ).
