Sky Q hard drive

My Sky Q hard drive has an error for the second time and is not able to retrieve recordings. Last time this happened it was a hard drive reset which wiped everything recorded and I suspect will be the case again. 
thing is, wiping it gives me no faith in recording things and having it happen a third time when the hard drive is obviously now a problem.

can I get a replacement Sky Q box and restore a little faith?

If Sky arrange a doorstep box swap rather than sending an engineer remember to remove your viewing card from the faulty box before it disappears into the back of a DPD van.

And check the new box uses the same type of power connector (if you don't take that out of the box and try to use the existing one)
