What types of HDDs are compatible with this unit? Does it allow the use of playlists on the hard drive?

Thanks for your question. It should see most drives. Use of playlists are covered in the full users manual downloadable on the manufacturer's site. This is a fantastic sounding unit. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

The USB on this player only supports USB flash drives such as thumb drives and jump drives. It does not support standard USB hard drives.Playable formats are FAT16 and FAT32, it can not play NTFS, HFS, andHFS+.The maximum number of playable folders is 99 and the maximum number of playable/recordable files is 2000. Do not use a USB hub between this CD player and the USB flash drive. Hope this helps.Regards,Hung

There is no hard drive built into this head unit. If you read the reviews it should have been clear enough. All music has to be stored on a thumb drive, and there is a hard wired tethered USB port that you can hide in an inconspicuous place. The only way you'll obtain a head unit like this one with a hard drive are the ones made to accept DVD's and have video playback, which this one does not have. However, all music on your thumb drive will be accessed via menues and the file names you have given it. Again, some of the reviews go in depth as to how to achieve this.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.

Hmm... This is a good thing to try. With hard drives, it may depend on how much current the port can drive, and is possible that certain HD's may not work. Anyway, for the price, is a very good system, and for sure you will attach something else with an USB port (like a Blu-Ray player) that may handle your hard drive in case this unit can't.

I've never heard of Dell specific hard drives. All Dells that I have seen have WD, Seagate, Samsung drives. The only Dell specific firmware would be in the array itself.

You would need a Minidisc data drive and data minidiscs. The item you asked this question on is an audio disc, not data.

Absolutely and that is one of the features that made me buy it. It also is able to support a very wide range of media and codecs which is probably the best reason to buy it. I run a Seagate 1.5 TB Backup plus USB portable drive as the main storage for my WD player. When you first plug in the drive it takes a long time for it to initialize so be patient if you have alot of media to sort through. The price is really great with the functionality of the system overall.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

Yes, you can. That's the main reason I bought it. Just make sure your HD is 2TB or less. It works great!

I have not tried playlists. You can add folders containing music and play from there but it will still play all music. I'm gonna try a playlist tonight and see if it will only play that.

The unit comes without any harddrives. It can use (4) 4 tb drives. See the Qnap website and consult their recommended list of harddrives.

It is Sata II or SATA III compatible. If you do not understand the interface for HDD you probably should not be building a computer or buying components.
