January 23, 201214 yr comment_280159 Just been to a customers system, and they have a avtech dvr. Shows no hard drive. Have opened it up, and its got a 500gb seagate hdd. Screws look although someones been in there before. Drive is dead as a duck. I can warranty it with seagate, however I cant seem to find any replacement drives at reasonable prices (IDE drives seem to be in very short supply !). Anyone tried using one of the sata converters, and putting a sata drive in there ?. Of am I flogging a dead horse, and its cheaper and better to get a new dvr ?

January 23, 201214 yr comment_280165 Sata converters have varied results and simply be more trouble. Flog him a new DVR imo, as its IDE its probably quite old now anyways.
