Hoow to set up Twin HD + Hard Drive

[gunner786]

I've ordered the Twin HD just now.
I got 2 sky hd receivers lying about 1 is 2 years old and 1 is just 1 years old both have hard drives inside them.
Will i be able to use them in the miraclebox and how do i install it are there any tutorials on the net?

Hi, the hard drives inside your skyboxes will be 3.5 inch, you need a 2.5 inch hard drive for your miraclebox. The hard drives inside your skyboxes are still usable but just not as an internal hdd in your miraclebox.

you should be able to fit the drives if you can get the Old ones out, I had a 1TB Seagate 3.5" fitted in my MB Twin and am using said Drive as an External Drive with my Duo2 and my LX3, if it is set up correct an External Drive can be very versatile, I use MiniTool Partition Wizard as it can format as Ext 3 and Ext 4
here are a couple of pictures of the internals of the MB HD Mount it shows you where the power & Sata cables fit and the main caddy

I fitted a 3.5 TB HDD to my MB Twin box no problem. fits nicely.
