The MovieHome V8 has a hard drive caddy so that you can install your own 3.5″ hard drive into the unit. This is a very simple process, requiring us to first fold down the hard drive flap and remove the hard drive caddy. The drive can then be inserted into the caddy and then slid into the front of the unit and secured using a screw.
Accessing the internals of the unit is relatively simple, requiring the removal of six screws on the underside of the unit. The metal bottom panel can then be removed, revealing the insides.
It's clear where the hard drive gets installed in this unit as there is a sizeable steel caddy to prevent the hard drive for being damaged inside.
The main PCB is quite small considering the amount of space there is inside the unit but this will help cooling. There is an additional PCB attached to the side of the unit which caters for the USB port and SD card reader on the side. We didn't investigate the PCB further as it is orientated so that we cant see the different components and it would be quite difficult to remove.
