Sky HD (+) Speed Advice (HDD)

Dear All

I have just had a standard Sky HD (+) box installed and notice that it is far too slow for my liking during playback (fast forward / fast back etc.)

I have already got Sky + with Western Digital Caviar RAID Edition 250GB UDMA100 8MB 7200rpm installed and it runs hyper fast through adverts etc...

could the leaders of the pack post a suggested Hard Disk upgrade (as well as quite fan conversion) [will 50x10mm work - or do I need a different size ?]) here so I can void the Sky warranty within the 1st month

Thanks in Advance
