    Hi, the model you're looking at is the EZRX, not the EURS as discussed on the thread so can't comment on suitability I'm afraid, possibly others can advise.

    Thank you, i can't seem to pick up a EURS at a good price. Although i can pick up many other hard drives at around £45 for 1TB

    ....this is a 2TB unit on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00N97JV0Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1483469260&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=wd20eurs

    I have a 500GB in at the moment so 1TB is more then enough and i might take a gamble on WD10EZRX.

    So i have had a hard drive fail on me and wanted to know what hard drive would be best to replace it with?!

    I assume you are certain that the problem is the hard drive and not the issue where a component on the Humax motherboard fails and makes the hard drive inaccessible?

    I am not sure of this but unfortunately I don't have a spare harddrive to hand to try it with. I suppose it's a gamble. I've had the box over 2 years and it's never failed on me.

    Hi, I am hoping the someone here can help as there doesn't appear to be anything online about how to remove the case on a Humax HDR-1100s and upgrade the hard drive. The main issue I am having is that the case is different to the HDR-1000s range and does not have the 4 screws under the feet pads. Has anyone ever attempted a drive upgrade on the HDR-1100s that can help and advise on how to do it?

    I suddenly experienced the 'No recordings' message yesterday on my HDR-1000S-500MB from 2014. Using the old Windows trick of removing power and re-starting, was relieved to find that, indeed, the recordings were still there. But how many times can I do this, and why must I do it? Is the error on the motherboard or a fault of the HDD? Anyone come up with the answer and/or a solution yet. Seems I am not alone. If the HDD is likely to be at fault, then what is the current make and model that is suitable for a 1TB replacement?
    My old head is experiencing something of a quandary.

    Got it, thanks.
    If I were to use a WD HDD in going for an upgrade, is there any special designation needed as there is for the Seagate HDD??
    I might add that I am quoted as being a junior member. Bit of a laugh since I shall reach 85 this year.
