Review : Pace Sky+ HD Upgrade
After doing a lot of research I bought the WD10EARX to upgrade the hard disk in my Pace Sky+ HD box. Using EX PVR to backup my old drive and format & copy the recordings onto this took around 2 hours on my PC (Core2Duo E8500 with 8GB Ram) including the Anytime content.

I wasn't sure if this would work as couldn't find anyone else that had upgraded a Pace Sky box but decided to give it go as the Sky box was becoming very unreliable and slow. If the drive didn't work I planned to install it in my PC for backing up and just buy an identical 300GB drive to go in the Sky box.

The new drive has been in the Pace Sky+ HD box for about a week and is working brilliantly, my free space went from low 30% free to 88% and box is running so much faster.

If it does play up I will update this review, until then assume it is still working.
