Emporium Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Like I asked other users.. Are you using the Power supply that came with the unit ? The xrs4900 and the U5 use a 12V power supply. Most of the other Buzz boxes, use a 5V power supply. I know many people when they get a new box, to make things quick, they tend to reuse the existing HDMI, ethernet and even power cables from a previous box. Even though this will power up the box, it will not have enough power for the HDD. Just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonN Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 I am the original poster. It is unfortunate to see that others are experiencing the same issue, too. I tried an old 128 GB SSD and it never ejected. I purchased a new 1 TB SSD and it has been running flawlessly in the u5 for weeks now. I repurposed the included WD HDD in my desktop. Has everybody submitted a ticket with BuzzTV? I did and they said there's nothing in the captured logs indicating what the failure could be.

Or by having there just : Erase and format as device storage means its actually as removable as of now ? Like you said. It is probably already as removable. IF you "erase and format as device storage", only then will you get the option for "erase and format as removable storage" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For downloads, I found that downloading smaller non-4k movies ,works fine. When downloading larger 4k movies, it starts well, but after the 1GB mark, it does often fail. I have alternatives in my case, so I don't bother downloading the VOD on my buzz box. Don't know if it is something with the download manager used or our specific server. DU and I had a discussion about it, in the "testing" section on another site, just before xmas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
