Storage capacity DRX890W

[Wolfie1]

Hi

Does anyone know what capacity this box is? It's a Sky+ HD WIRELESS, model DRX890W. Is it 500GB or 1TB?

DRX890 has 500GB but only 250GB is for the user the other half is reserved for Skys use

The DRX895W would be a 2TB (1700MB user space, 300MB reserved)

Sky didn't make 1TB Sky+ HD boxes: those became a thing with Sky Q

Actually, they did, though not for very long. I've still got one.

Yes, I just looked them up: same model number but without the W suffix for on-board WiFi, in about 2010.

Thanks all for speedy responses. 

So... It could be 500, 1 or 2 😄

I'm replacing it with a nonSky pvr so will go for 2TB, just because it allows some wiggle room for storing more HD programmes.

ALL DRX890 boxes are 500GB it's DRX895 that have bigger HDDs

Although secondhand DRX890s of any type could have a 1 TB or 2 TB inside if the previous owner changed it😊
