I upgraded my power supply to a simple 2.5A one when the original one gave up after 3 years of daily use.  Have had no power issues since.

My internal HDD has been upgraded from a 4Tb to an HGST 8Tb 7200rpm with no problems.  I also regularly plug in an external USB 8Tb drive (I have 3) and play high bitrate UHD movies (some files are >100Gb), also with no problems.

These 4K movie rips take up heaps of HDD space!!

Hi Phil....
May I know what brand of 8TB HDD did you use  as my current 6 Tb HDD is full and need to get another one...TIA

Title                       : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I got  the same  problem from the  title XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Info Blu-ray
Video
Codec: HEVC / H.265
Resolution: Native 4K (2160p)
HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10
Aspect ratio: 2.40:1
Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1
Never been able to view it properly as  you can only hear  the sound but you get a white screen with some shadow of the  video

Hi Naandish and  Laager,, so  from  your experience  ;

12 V ,2A power  supply is MORE THAN  ENOUGH  for  the  power supply needs  of Himedia q10 regardless if you use 7200rpm or 5400 rpm HDD....

cutefix, my rule is that I never completely fill a formatted partition. I am always left with 500MB of free space. The operating system then works more efficiently and lighter on the disk load. Use the entire disk for the movies partition, but, as I wrote, do not fill this formatted partition completely, leave 0.5TB of free space and it will be fine. If you are not actually using the USB ports (especially USB 3.0), you can only replace the power supply with a more powerful one and use the 7200 RPM disk (it will make a lot more noise and heat up). Still, I recommend drives from NAS, 5400 rpm. Greetings ....

Thanks Naandish for  that information... Iam  glad you  clarified that a drive should not be filled to the  brim..las  time I  only left 250 mb ....Have a nice day, keep  safe,,,,.

Changing the power supply to a more powerful one is not entirely the solution to the problem. In addition to the power supply, on the Q10 pro motherboard, there are also additional power supply systems for individual components (3.5 'SATA drive, USB sockets, processor, etc.). The power of these systems is also important. If the disk draws more power, the motherboard has more loaded elements powering it. It also matters. 

Hi Nandish.. My Himedia Q10 is  only connected by HDMI  cable  via  arc,  Its  USB slots are not used to  focus  more on the  drawing power of the HDD for the   power supply... So I want to verify would  replacing the 12 volt 2A power supply be a good  solution, supposing and almost full  6 tb 5400 RPM  or  7200 rpm  HDD would draw  more  power?
I don't want my HDD to fail .. Do youhave  any idea what is  the  maximum amount of  file that can  be put  into the 6tb HDD  that will still run comfortably in the HI  MEDIA Q10?.. if the formatted  capacity of the 6tb  is 5.500 tb. would  it  be okay if  the remaining free  hdd space  is just 500 mb left?

The standard power supply struggles when the Q10 Pro has many demands. 

So you mean the 12 volt 2A power supply  is insufficient if all the  Himedia  Q10 usb outlets  plus the  HDMI are used  ?
If supposing I had a 7200 rpm drive at 6 TB and only the HDMI cable is being connected would  it still run smoothly  if the  drive is already above half capacity?
How about if the 6tb  5400 rpm HDD is nearly full , would the 12 V 2 A power supply still suffice to run it smoothly?
I am asking as based from past experience with HDD failure I used the same power supply with the 3 TB  7200 rpm HDD in this HImedia  , that was 3/4 full of movies when it failed , when the hard drive doesnot respond anymore ..Which upon checking  by running the drive in an enclosure  using a laptop with usb 3.0 cable and slot will not run similarly.
Do you have any idea what would be the specification for a powerful power supply that  can maximize the power load of the q10 but not overloading it?

Hi Laager,

 I  thought that the more the capacity of the  HDD  it will  become thicker so that my thinking so its a self limiting factor that make some sense  when  other said the  himedia q10 is limited  to 6 tb due to  such size  limitation..
 I  am not quite  familiar about drives  with bigger capacity nor was  it  proven to  actually fit the HIMEDIA Q10 hdd compartment.
Further  you said that replacing the power supply  of the Q10 with 5A  sorted out the   power  supply problem so it can run faster than 5400 RPM speed  drives. But as I  see it  the Q10 power supply is non detachable from the unit,, So how did  you replace the power supply for  you himedia q10.
I am interested to  hear more about your  insight and familiarity with the Himedia Q10.

I use Seagate ST16000NM001G Exos X16 16TB 3.5" SATA 512e/4Kn Enterprise Hard Drives. They work well. The 7200rpm rotational speed is slightly beneficial when doing USB 3.0 transfers as it is easy to achieve 250MB/s+ with them.

 :o 16 Terabyte ... really ..? Is it not too thick  HDD  that it won't fit the HIMEDIA Q10 pro?  Is it 7200rpm rotational speed..? Did younot get any problems with the weak powersupplyof this q10 pro.. I had  problems previously with 7200 rpm thats why someone advised me to get the 5400.. But I  found out that the reading speed of 5400 is not as fast as 7200 rpm in my himedia... there is a slight difference reading speed  of few seconds ....
May I know how much is the price of a 16 TB HDD in USD?

HI Futeko, I had previous experience using a larger 7200Rpm drives but as it becomes filled with movies, its started to create issues where it suddenly stops playing where the movie hangs.It was just a matter time, that the particular HDD failed that it won't run anymore that I had to replace it .Is it because of faulty HDD or incapability of this Himediaq10 is underpowered.
I am still thinking if I can recover all those assorted movie and video files from thar failed HDD but I asked a data recovery professional, the price was just to steep to be worth the recovery.
When I heard lately that this Himedia Q10 pro is under powered to run 7200RPM I was mulling of buying 6TB HDD at 5400Rpm for my heaps of 4k and blue ray extracted movies which I want to play through HIMEDIA Q10.
So from your opinion is it true that the power output of this q10 is limited to lower speed HDD ,specially for high capacity units.?

Hi Futeko  does those brands you mentioned had high capacity drives..some  high capacity drives  had speed above 5400 RPM,, around 6000 RPM , can those run in Himedia Q10?
