Being Diskless, is there a certain disk that is recommended for this device?

Question

Accepted Answer

The system can fit a 3.5" or 2.5" SATA hard drive.  I used an older 120GB 2.5" laptop SATA drive since I already had a 1TB external USB drive to hook up with all my original data.  I would recommend going bigger on the internal drive if you plan to use the NAS for media hosting as the built-in apps do not support an external USB drive as a Media library.  If you want to go that direction, I would also suggest something in the 7200 RPM for disk speed.  It only supports SATA II, but any SATA III drive should function, it just won't run at the 6Gb/s.

Hope this helps.

Oh one more thing, if you do get it, before you add any data to it, make sure you update to the latest firmware.  The app Download Manager uses BitTorrent and will start to beacon once the system is up.  The latest firmware turns the app off by default.
