Was thinking of switching my HDD on my 7020 over to my 800 but I see there are over heating problems on the 800 with an internal HDD is this a problem how hot does it get does a fan have to be fitted don't like fitting an internal fan in this new box.

Doesn't the 7020 take a 3.5" and the 800 a laptop HDD?

I am running a DM800HD with internal HDD 250gb. From Seagate.

The machine does get warm, but I have not yet experienced any problems related to that.

Very interesting reading thought the 7020 HDD would fit but I guess not, maybe I'll just fit an external Hdd drive altogether and get a new one for my PC, not quiet sure yet.Thanks for all the info :respect-050:

I use an external Sata 3.5" HDD in an enclosure connected via usb to my Kathrein receiver. This records perfectly OK but as it has an external power supply, I am not sure if it would ever go to standby, so I have to switch it off when not in use otherwise it is constantly spinning. Does anyone know how to overcome this as the dreambox internal HDD could be set to standby after a certain time.
