I'm pleased to report that since receiving a new Sata cable and updating my T8s plus, my HDD is no longer disconnecting. The cable although stiffer and therefore more awkward to install appears to have fixed the issue. Now I just need to return it to get Bluetooth working...

Hi, apologies for delayed response. An openelec reset did sort this issue. Thanks.

This isn't true in my case. The caddy is plugged in before I power the droidbox, and the disk is recognised with no issues

So yesterday, I formatted my 2TB disk in my PC with an exFAT filesystem. Put it in Droidbox, and despite an openelec reset, it wasn't recognised - never got a message saying that the disk was mounted. Confirmed by using the 'mount' command via ssh.

Hi, there is no link to share as I was playing a local file. I have just tried a mad max trailer from HDtrailers.net and that crashed the box in exactly the same way within a minute or so. The link to that is http://videos.hd-trailers.net/MadMax-FuryRoad_TLR-2-720p-HDTN.mp4 When it crashes the...
