scorpion 0 Posted May 23, 2007 LOL Just pulling everyones legs. I pulled some Seagate drives out of the standalones that I had in stock and sent the info to sparks. The ones I had were 80GB so I dont think this was of any help to sparks since he was looking for 500GB. I purchase my own drives rather then pay through the nose from some distributors. My local computer store has the Western digital caviars. I order DVRs without hard drives and then I put in my own drive, and I am afraid some day a hard drive will fail destroying the stand alone DVR, and the distributor will claim AUTOMATIC VOID OF WARRANTY! Through another disrtibutor located in florida, they do not mark up the drives so expensively so I order the DVRs with the hard drives installed. My time is valuable and I just don't have the time to go and pick up drives, but I just cannot pay $400.00 for a drive either! I have never had it happen, but has anyone have a distributor void a warrany on a self installed drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I order DVRs without hard drives and then I put in my own drive, and I am afraid some day a hard drive will fail destroying the stand alone DVR, and the distributor will claim AUTOMATIC VOID OF WARRANTY! I really can't imagine the likelihood of any hard drive failing in such a way as to destroy the DVR it is installed in so I don't see any problem buying the drives from the cheapest source. And hard drives typically have a longer warranty than DVR's. We do the same thing with the Sanyo casino DVR's. Although Sanyo doesn't sell them driveless, we refuse to buy the second 300GB drive at Sanyo's inflated $700 price. And we have found that we can install at least 500GB drives in place of the 300GB ones that Sanyo sells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Thats the option I like! For the price of the DVR and the hard drive, I can keep the price the same but bump up from 80GB to a 500GB drive. I have never had this problem, but I was curious as to what others had experienced. Once I had a blown hard drive blown DVR and a blown 12 volt power supply. ?????? Florida flicker and flash strikes again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
