laptop sata harddrive in vu+duo

[scud]

hi all could i put a laptop 2.5" sata harddrive into my vu+duo without causeing it any problems as i dont have any other harddrives.

i have done mate in the past.

it wont secure with the supplied bracket, so i just laid mine in the bay, after all we're not going to exactly shake rattle and roll the Duo are we, and i've never had any problems with it like this, if you're wary though, i suppose you can always knock up some sort of bracket.

Don't know about the Vu but DBs don't like NTFS formatted HDDs so I use Partition Magic to format it into ext2 first. They are usually recognised but the DB still wants to format it - so I just let it
