john@total Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Have just had an DM eco4 go down with a drive fault. i know everyone says that it has to be sent back to DM but i heard a whisper that if you dont format the new sata drive on a PC and just plug it stright in to the eco4 it formats itself and works. does anbody know this for sure? It is now just a spare so having a play is ok. john Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/28636-eco4-hard-drive-prob/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selsport69 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Are the DM hard drives still giving problems. When I was at IES 5 years ago I stopped using them because of the high failure rate I had with the DM hard drives.
