Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

Im not sure about that, you just need to check and see what file system you are using and what the Patriot support. I'm just running extFAT so it supports the full 256 GB on the one that I got.

Thankyou J.Donaldson. Was it built to the same specs as the one on Amazon? If you write a review for it I'll be sure to read it. I'm deciding between this and the new hp dm1z.

I haven't yet gotten a drive to work with it. However, it looks like it (1) requires a special adaptor that you'll need to buy directly from HP for about $57. And (2) the drive bay looks like it may only accept 7mm drives, so if you plan to put a 9.5mm drive in it, I don't think it will work.

The official "Moboplay" booklet which comes with the device does not indicate the maximum hard drive which can be connected, for I have only only connected my 64 gig usb pen drive and had no problem. The booklet just indicates that "It can drive external USB storage devices such as USB HDD or USB pen drive, support FAT/NTFS file system." thanks Chris

I just bought the 500 Gb Version and the Fan noise immediately kicked in. I discovered that by simply placing a cloth or (mouse or rubber)pad underneath the unit, its noise is canceled out. Do you know if the 1TB drive is That much louder than the 500 Gb? Thanks.

Amazon have been sending me the WD20EARS-00MVWB0!If you do buy it, please buy it thru my Amazon Store, its the same price and I get a small kickback from the sale.http://astore.amazon.com/brisperpag-20/detail/B002ZCXK0IGreat drive btw, use this for my main data partition and for an external backup drive on many servers.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

Hi Mauricio...I got the bigger SSD (solid state drive) at 256GB. I'm the type that would rather operate on the side of caution by going with more storage than I need, rather than wishing I had later on. The model or build year per the part number is what Apple calls the "Mid-2012" model (MD23XX series) with my purchase date on Feb. 2013. So being labeled Mid-2012, the "7/2015 Apple Care" is the standard 3 year warranty that most computer companies offer. I know this info only because I have a Lenovo, an HP and a Sony laptop via my employer and all have 3 year warranties. So standard warranty stuff. Incidentally, I'd take my Macbook over any any of those PC laptops I mentioned - hands down!! Hope this helps. Hi Mauricio...I got the bigger SSD (solid state drive) at 256GB.

It has the right specifications for the U135 according to the MSI specs (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/U135.html#/?div=Specification). Note that the MSI U135 can accommodate a maximum of 2 GB. So if your computer already has 2 GB it cannot be expanded beyond that.

I don't know because I only got to use it once when loading it. The next day it didn't work. I had to call HP to find out how to get my information off the hard drive before returning it. If you have not already bought the computer, don't.

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

Hello-I am desperately seeking assistance with my SA8300HD in use with my WD My DVR Expander. I have been using the expander successfully with this box for about a year and a half. Recently Time Warner "upgraded" my area (Austin, TX) with the Navigator interface. After that all seemed to be lost. I had over 150 shows recorded for future viewing all gone. Multiple calls and emails later I was given contradictory information. First I was told that the SATA port would no longer work for the expander. Today I was told that it could be used but only for storage when the dvr is full. No instructions on how to use it in that manner (to switch recordings to the expander or back again) and of course the usual TW company line about not supporting any issues with the expander. Any low tech information about how this might work or what to do would be truly appreciated. Also I just kind of tripped onto this forum while looking for information so a response to my email address would get the information to me more directly or at least point me back to this forum. I am on my phone typing this and it doesn't show me the url where I got started. Thanks so much in advance, Kathy (ksilb@austin.rr.com)

I purchased a Ml310e last year with the four port LFF hot swap cage. I don't know what controller is on that array, so I'll answer in the context I know. Unless HP has changed it's policy or you purchase media from HP, you will need to purchase drive trays so you can install drives in a slot. The unit does not come with them. At the time I purchased the server, I didn't know this and wound up spending about three times as much for media, HP drives are commercial grade and expensive, as I intended for a lab server. At that time, OEM trays could not be purchased and HP didn't offer them without a drive installed. Recently, I've found a tray that the vendor says fits the 310 LFF slot for about $40 per tray. I have not yet tried one but will in the next few months as I upgrade the server. Interestingly, when I purchased the server, OEM trays were available for the SFF slots but the server with those was not necessary and didn't fit my budget. Because of that issue, I would not have purchased another 310 because of the media cost, but will reconsider if the trays work. It is a well designed piece of hardware, but having to use HP media increase the cost of how I wanted to configure the storage from $300 to $1500 so I had to acquire less capacity for greater cost and didn't get to use a SSD for my system's hypervisor drive. Regards

The same 12-bay expansion unit is used for either the 2413 or 3612. The difference is not the expansion unit but the different processor (CPU) used for the 2413 and the 3612. The 3612 has much higher performance therefore extending this performance to the expansion unit storage
