Only just sorted this...haha it was the power supply all along, I must have used the wrong one by accident so the original HDD was fine as is the warranty replacement and the new one I purchased, which luckily I can return to Amazon!

Hi I brought a cheap Sannce DRV from Amazon along with a Western Digital media hard drive and had it running for about a year with no issues, then one day the HDD was no longer recognised by the DRV, suspecting the drive had failed I contacted WD and they replaced it under warranty. When the new drive arrived I set it up as NTSF and formatted it however the HDD still isn't recognised. Suspecting that I may have a faulty DRV I brought a new one from Amazon (which I can return free of charge is not needed) however it still does not recognise the HDD, however the HDD is recognised by my PC therefore I can not work out what the issue is... Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks for the reply. I need the DRV to recognise the HDD before I can use the DVR to format the HDD... The DVR menu doesn't state which particular brand/model it supports. Although the manufacturer recommended WD... I can't check that WD replaced it with the same model of HDD as I don't know what the exact model of the original HDD was. So this could be the issue, however I'd be surprised if a slight variation would mean it doesn't work, must be something though... I don't think the fault lies with the DRV/cables as I have tried the HDD with my old DVR and a brand new one, so I'd have to be extremely unlucky to have 2 faulty DVR's. Could it
