I know I have a Seagate at the moment but will buying a different brand cause a problem?<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />Lee<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:08:19 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91188#M52092 leethepee 2009-10-16T21:08:19Z Re: New Hard Drive https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91191#M52093 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>That should be OK Lee. Physical size looks OK.<BR /><BR />The only thing you need to consider is power consumption. The FZ-Series run very hot and the last thing you need is more heat. Check the power consumption when reading/writing and just make sure there is not a big increase.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.com.mk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:38:40 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91191#M52093 Blencogo 2009-10-16T21:38:40Z Re: New Hard Drive https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91194#M52094 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the update.<BR />How can I check what the power consumption of the HD I have at the moment?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:18:35 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91194#M52094 leethepee 2009-10-17T15:18:35Z Re: New Hard Drive https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/new-hard-drive/m-p/91196#M52095 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a VGN-FZ21S and upgraded to this WD hard drive and I get better battery like out of it since the upgrade.
