The hard drive in one of my old ReplayTV DVRs started an ominous clicking noise last week. I powered it down for a day and then turned it back on. The clicking stopped and its been running for a week now, but I’ve been looking for a replacement drive. They’re getting harder to find at a reasonable price. SATA drives don’t work and the typical off-the-shelf IDE’s won’t work either. There’s only a few model numbers proven to work and they’re apparently not the current versions. This may finally force me into moving to Tivo.
Update [3/26/09]: The clicking started again last night. Crap. Fortunately, I found a Seagate drive on Ebay for a reasonable cost that I think will work.
