    Sell it and buy a 2.5 inch drive.
    You will have much more options available to you.

    I did manage to fit a 3.5 inch drive in my mutant hd51 but I replaced it with a 2.5 inch drive in the end after asking about the possible negative effects such as possible increases heat and power consumption.

    All the manufacturers are looking to make there boxes smaller. Just the usual trend with tech I suppose.

    Cheers Andy, I had the duo 2 in past and find it excellent. Was hoping for a receiver I hadn't tried before with preferably h265 support but seems there are none that take an internal 3.5"
