Hard drive death

Tuesday install MRV. Wednesday a HD DVR hard drive crashes. Saturday my second HD DVR crashes. Seems like a possible issue with the MRV. Systems is hard wired cat 5 e with gig switch and router.

Any one else see this?

In many months of testing, none of us have seen any reason to believe that MRV would cause hard drive failures. There have been no such reports.

Maybe just a coincidence, but my HR21 crashed Saturday. I was having trouble with it staying conncected to MRV. I have a blue screen with a code with a hyphen in it. I am not at home to relay the code. DTV said the only thing they can do is mail me a new one. I should have it tomorrow.

Directv has millions of DVR's in service so odds are several will fail every day. A bad power situation, brown out, intermittent outages would be more apt to cause multiple failures in a single installation.

I have an electrical device which clamps down power surges, spikes and lightning strikes before it enters my home. There were no outages during the time period when both harddrives crashed.

I did have numerous power outages with rare snowfall we got.

I did have trouble getting my HR21 connected to the MRV before it died. I received my HR22 yesterday and it hooked right up to MRV and is great.

good luck
