My Freesat box works perfectly again.
My freesat box hard drive failed. I thought I'd have to get a new box at £300. Saw a YouTube video describing how to change the hard drive so I ordered this, changed the hard drive (very easy) and now working perfectly.

Not a new drive, with 39,000 hours of use and bad sectors
My worst purchase on amazon.Those are used hard drives, my one came with 39,000 hours of use and bad sectors.- Extremely High UsagePower On Hours: 39,036 hours (~4.45 years of continuous operation).Power On Count: 44,422 cycles (suggests frequent power cycles).A drive this old is at a much higher risk of failure.- High Load/Unload Cycle CountLoad/Unload Cycle Count: 0x114E (probably around 4,398 times).Frequent head parking/unparking can wear out mechanical parts over time.- Spin Retry Count: 188 (Above Normal)This means the disk has had trouble spinning up multiple times.Normal value should be 0 or very low.This may indicate aging motor bearings or power instability.- UltraDMA CRC Error Count: 200There have been some CRC errors, which could indicate cable issues or power fluctuations.

Data Backups
Drive was dated 2019, not too old if it has been refurbished. These drives need to be set up first if using them for data backups etc. Search "compmgmt.msc" and click "Disk Management" Right click the drive that has 465Gb? (500Gb) Free space and "Format" First set the size (Just press next if not partitioning/splitting the drive) then Format in NTFS (Will allow large files to be copied over) Now the drive will appear in "This PC". To remove the drive just pull the USB cable out unless you want to change it to "safely remove" in This PC. Orico is one brand I'd recommend for Hard Drive Enclosures.
