Sagemcom 320GB Freesat TV Recorder - any comments?

Sagemcom 320GB Freesat Digital Set Top Box and TV Recorder model DTR 94320S HD

I have the chance of a good deal on this but reading all the reviews most people seem to complain about the noise of the hard disk. Has anyone any experience of ownership of one of these?

There have also been some posts regarding Sagemcom build quality issues, so if you do go for this model make sure that the "good deal" comes with a warranty.

Looking at the comments from people who have purchased it on another site (join Freesat) for both this and the 500Gb version, the impression is of a noisy, slow and unreliable box though some appear to have got a good one. Sounds like it is not quite as bad as the Harvard machines but that others would have better build or quality testing.
