[j-nsp] HDD requirements for RE-333 and RE-600

[Martin T]

Hi,

while the original HDDs are in slave mode, I did try with cable-select
and in master mode as well, but the RE did not boot with the Hitachi
HTS541680J9AT00 HDD. I would expect to see at least the BIOS
screen(http://s8.postimg.org/vuae8mx39/RE_600_BIOS_screen.jpg), but
with Hitachi drive the RE does not seem to boot at all. That's the
reason why I suspected the power consumption problem. However, any
other ideas?


regards,
Martin
