Hello! I am new to the forums and had a quick question.

Would this hard drive work for a replacement for the D888?

Or perhaps this one?

I love mine, and have used the heck out of it, but the hard drive is about to go out. It's been acting weird lately.

I found this tutorial on how to replace it, and I think I could do it, but I want to make sure I am getting the right drive first.

And if not, could anyone link me to one that would work?

Thanks in advance![/url]

I replaced mine about four yeas back, I don't remember any panic moments so it should be fairly straight forward swap out. My PC reports a drive type of: hitachi HDS721680PLAT80 so that's what I swaped mine for. From memory I formated the drive on a PC first then put the operating system files into the root directory
