625 disk compatibility...

[Librarian]

Lately I'm getting 'System Integrity Check' tests, and they breaking in on new recordings.

I called Dish, and they told me to send in my 625, and they'll send a new [refurb?] replacement for postage - not a bad deal. Problem is tho', I own my receiver - it's not leased, and I have 2 spare HD's that I put in the receiver sometimes, to watch vids on those disks.

If I get a new 625 receiver from Dish, will my old HD's work in the new 625?

Hi there Bob...

I found a drive compatibility list on a Google search. This is interesting, because my drive isn't even on the list???

So anybody know if my drives will work on a new 625 from Dish? This 625 spins WD2500JB-57REA0, btw...

From a table that I found the only drives that will work are:
