Title: TeraStation Live HD replacement
Post by: gtflip on October 18, 2017, 11:02:07 PM
One of the drives in my TeraStation Live (HS-DHTGL/R5) just died, so I was looking at replacing it.  While searching, I came across this thread (http://forums.buffalotech.com/index.php?topic=5062.0) which talks about it not supporting larger drives due to power consumption.

The manual says, "Do not use a replacement Hard Disk Drive which has more than 0.92A at 5Vdc and 0.9A at 12Vdc for the specification of current load."  All the WD drives I looked at the specs for used at least 1A (if I'm reading them correctly), including the Green ones.

So, did I misunderstand or are there not many drives that will work according to the spec?

Thanks!
