Has anyone actually written more than 1 TB to 1.5 TB or 2 TB drives?
I remember that people had problems with Vu+ Duo with larger than 1 TB drives: everything is working fine until you write more than 1 TB, then the trouble begins.
So I put 1 TB drive in my Duo to avoid such problems.
Now I am thinking about putting 1.5 or 2 TB into ET-9000.

I just put Samsung F2 154UI 1.5 TB 5400 rpm into my new ET9000. Fine so far. Interesting what will happen when over 1 TB.
It successfully records channels that are no longer recorded for some reason by Vu+ Duo with 1 TB Samsung (for example, FoxNews). Most of the channels are still recorded by Duo, but for some reason now zero-length or very small size .ts files are consistently created for some channels.
I will try Eurosport 2 North East HD next - it has so many sound tracks and perhaps that's why it is not recorded by Duo (with a pretty old Open PLi image).
Foxnews was previously recorded without problems, but no longer - perhaps something changed in the broadcast and it can be handled by a newer VIX image.

Just installed a Seagate Desktop external drive 500gb ( model no. ST305004EXD101-RX ) in my new ET9000.
Formatted it on my pc but it would not work with the VIX_hd skin my et9000 kept hanging and wouldn,t boot up for some reason so i changed the skin to vali.hd.flex and it worked.
Anyway first impressions of the et9000 are very impressive. Much better than my DM800.
Tested Working on latest ViX image:

Yes it mounted but whenever i recorded anything it would crash all the time.
Flashed the CT image and it hasn,t crashed once.

No sorry the CT image solved my problems so i didn,t post here about it.
Just thought i would let people know if they use the same HD as me.
