Hey Darren,
I have had a 160gig Maxtor 5400 rpm in my DM7000 for years with no problem. But yes, it doesn't like the newer 7200rpm jobs etc.
I'd take z80's advice and drop a laptop drive in if i was you.
You could also look at the Cap Mod for the newer 7200rpm drives... but as you understand, it's on the limit, so is it worth the risk?
But the old 160gig has been fine for me, i have 40gig of MP3's and a few 4.6gig DVD's on the HDD all the time and still get heaps of room for recording shows etc
Plus the 5400rpm is nice and quite too
Cheers mate
