You'd probably need something optimised for video usage
WD Red (Red Pro), Purple, Gold (now Ultrastar DC) etc.

Having el-cheapo grade HDDs won't do much good to the MTV

我見Magic TV 机用Toshiba hard disk.

It depends on available inventory
PM procures different brands of HDDs depending on season

But in any case, a video-specific HDD should be applied to the MTV and NOT just any cheapskate HDD

Seriously, I don't know

I would probably slap in a Gold or better instead

Maybe check this thread for some inspiration

Any ordinary SATA HDD no larger than 4TB should work for replacing the Magic TV internal HDD.

After purchasing a new SATA HDD, format it using a computer first, so that it is not empty of partition, before letting it re-format by Magic TV.

Some member here has replaced such internal HDD with a 8TB capacity model and has yielded no problem whatsoever... How can you explain that?

Also, how come the MTV's HDD formatting command is such buggy?  I mean, why format the HDD under PC environment just to create a partition?  How come MTV cannot do that while formatting the HDD?

1. I have good reasons to believe 4TB and smaller drives should work.  If a user finds that 8TB also works as system HDD, good for them but this is neither officially tested nor guaranteed.  Format of USB HDD has another limit.

2. The format function actually rewrites the partition table.

Finally purchase purple 3T. Thanks

作者: anon893    時間: 2019-2-24 17:00


Seriously though, I dun see the advantage of a 3TB capacity over a 4TB...
With such applications as MTV perhaps a 4TB would be a better choice, becuz you just don't know when you'll end up filling up the drive fast with all the recorded programs

But anyway, now that you got the Purple 3TB, the next step will be to follow the instructions for formatting and mounting it into the MTV to see if there's any problem

因隻3T 有D問題, 最後換左蒦普通版 WD 2T . 顺利使用中, sales 話 format 唔到, 可能係win 7 只support 2T. 要用其他software 先format 到,。

作者: anon893    時間: 2019-2-25 15:03


w7 supports >2TB HDDs if formatted in GPT
普通版 WD 2T is basically another Green POS
I think it's wrong for you to downgrade... should've stuck with another Purple but in 2TB capacity

Thanks. 下次有機會再换。。 By the way, 上次我買,Toshiba 3T
    Hardisk 都可以响 Magic Tv format. 今次WD 3T 就电腦同magic t.v. 都 format唔到。。

Then maybe your Purple 3TB is a lemon, not unusual but considering Purple is a more robust (if not exactly enterprise grade) HDD lineup the QC should've been much robust as well

IMO with standard grade HDDs in MTV applications, bad sector building is a really big problem
Not that pro-grade HDDs are immune, but such error may be less likely (also depending on how you treat your HDD during recording and playback)

順便問一下:

舊HDD 正接駁 MTV3200S (or MTV3000 - forgot which, sorry), 有錄落的舊節目。
昨天買了MTV9100D，用番舊HDD可保留原有節目嗎?

謝謝!

Yes.  Before you unplug the USB HDD, make sure to standby the Magic TV first.

作者: wklie    時間: 2019-2-27 11:10



Windows 7 must be able to format a 3TB HDD.  If it can format other HDD but not this particular 3TB, there must be a hardware fault with the HDD, or the SATA cable is failing (which is less likely).

Hi wklie or any other c hing, can we remove the internal HD and just use USB HD?

i have an old MTV 7000D and sometimes the machine would not startup and says there is HD error.

作者: wklie    時間: 2019-3-5 16:33

回覆 27# tonehk

Yes.  You should also change the power supply if it has not been replaced since you've bought the MTV7000D.

   thanks v much, i briefly tested yesterday removing the hard disk and it ran ok. i used same power supply.

why do i need to replace the power supply if still working?

A faulty power supply can also cause internal HDD issues.  If it works ok, then keep using it.

In case you run into further stability issues in the future, you may try to replace the power supply.

ok I see. i noticed there was a CR2025 button battery. is this for ensuring we have accurate date and time?
