The time has come to replace the original 320gig hard drive in my old foxsat with a 1Tb version.
A look about suggests that only old Seagate pipeline drives (made in 2012/2013) are available.
Are the WD purple “Survilance” drives suitable?
I have custom firmware installed so could do 2Tb but 1Tb will be enough space.

I think any modern drive you buy will be SATA III by default. The Foxsat needs a SATA II drive and you need to check that whatever drive you buy can be set to SATA II mode. It used to be done by jumpers but I think some drives require you to use a software utility.
Yes Sata II … some drives need to be set every time they power up via a SMART command ……
I’ll look and see
According to the WD purple drive manual it can be set to 1.5G/s transfer speed.
Found the manual .. see page 44
Cant upload/link at the moment.
Will do later on my pc.

In which case the drive should be suitable.
