Martin, I think it was the Foxsat-HDR that needed the jumper.

In addition to the 1000s I have a Foxsat HDR still on its original drive. For future reference it would be useful to know which drives would be suitable replacements.
I did spot this from Astra 2 http://www.astra2sat.com/freesat/hard-drive-upgrade/ .
Are these straight replacements without need a jumper?Or should I post this in a different location on the site?

A jumper is easy to find on any only PC, where you can find spares placed on only on of the two pins.

For information. I sourced a new Seagate ST3500312CS - same model as existing HDD.
Before I put it in the Humax I connected it to my desktop and Chromebook using my new USB Sata cable. Was not recognised :cry:. I put the new drive in my Humax and no request to format hard drive - same problems as before
Conclusions.
1. The usb sata cable I obtained is the wrong spec or faulty. This is what I got
http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07L5DK7C5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=12. The problem with the Humax is the resistor issue therefore it is now only of use as a Freesat receiver.
3. I now have two back-up HDD's for my Foxsat HDR

Presumably you did connect the 12V supply as well as the USB connector?

Yes using an adaptor I have - Output 12v 200mA. Both new and old drives circuit boards felt warm but could not detect disc spinning.

Motor is 12V and from Seagate spec
Startup current 12V-peak (typical) 2.0A Hmmm.
If the HDD is not mounted, when it is running and you try to twist it, you will feel a strong gyroscopic effect (resistance to twist) You can't miss it.| Mon 10 Aug 2020 16:36:52 #19 |
