Help with model name

[tommpd]

Hi all. Looking for help with buying a droidbox. I have been trying to get a T8-S Plus V 2 but it comes up as a T8 SE. Is this a new model replacing the V2?

 

[tommpd]

Sorry. Just seen the thread below

The T8-S Plus v2 is no longer sold and has been replaced with the newly launched T8 SE at https://droidbox.co.uk/droidbox-t8-se-dualboot-android-libreelec-4k-amlogic-s905x.html

If you want the T8-S plus v2 check Amazon as droidbox sell there to.
But not many left and its not in the Black Friday sale. The T8 SE is at a great price on droidboxes main site....check it out.

Thanks David, got myself one in the sale. Was looking at the spec's but it doesn't say if it takes a hard drive and if so can you just swap over from the T8-S v 1 as mine has started to reboot at start-up and then lose net connection. Just haven't the time to get it sorted as explained in another thread. Just keeping it on in the meantime lol (your idea)

The T8 SE is smaller than the Plus devices so it is not able to take an hard drive. You can however connect it to external drives via USB.

Good job, thanks. Just a quick question. Is there enough power from the usb to power the hard drive or would you need a external power source. Sorry for being a bit daft but I want to be sure before getting one.

I've not got one to test the maximum current that can be pulled, but the earlier models were OK. If the hard drive has a mini-USB connection and you find it can't pull enough power, something like https://www.tesco.com/direct/starte...al-hard-drive-03m/552-3933.prd?skuId=552-3933 might help
