still not clear - does this unit includes 2 hard drives of 2TB each?

The quantity of storage is the total quantity that you will receive. If you purchase the 4TB model, you will receive 2x2TB drives. If you purchase the 8TB model, you will receive 2X4TB drives. Finally, you can purchase the model without drives and use the drives that you would prefer in the device.

It is confusing/missleading on Amazon. The DS213+ priced at $399 does NOT include disk drives. Amazon have a seperate listing for a DS213+ 2200 with 2 * 2TB drive priced at $799 (showing out of stock on 12/15/12). I am still very pleased with my DS213+ which I fitted with 2 * 4TB drives. It certainly wasn't the cheapest NAS but so far has worked flawlessly.

No. You will need to order the hard drives separately. I recommend you visit the Synology website before ordering your hard drives. Go to Support > Compatibility > Hard Drive to view the list of recommended makes/models.

no. no hard drives are included in this package just the Synology case. I added two Western Digital Red NAS grade drives to it. Whole package cost over $700 which i know these days is more than a high end pc, but i needed the compactness of a NAS drive.

This unit does not come with hard drives. They have 2 slots that will accept up to 4TB each. I highly recommend getting the Western Digital RED drives since they are made specifically for NAS to run 24/7.

Not clear to me why someone would say that? The 2TB model includes a 2 TB drive. 1 TB includes a 1TB drive, and zero means you have to add your own drive.

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

The unit that I received did have the 1TB drive installed. It booted great. The interface was nice to work with and very functional. I used it for one of my customers who does not have a lot of technical skills and just needs it "too work". Hope that answers your question.

None...you install the hard drives you want, If you go to their website you can find out a lot of answers. www.bufflaotech.com

It will do two 2-terabyte drives. Make sure you update to the latest drivers though or it won't.

Not sure I currently have 3tb, 2tb and two 1tb hard drives. It holds 4 hard drives total. I'm would assume it would hold 4tb. Sorry I'm not that much of help.

Sorry for the late response. I bought the diskless enclosure so I am not sure which hard drives they come with.

No clue. No hard drive included. I strongly recommend against this product, as mine broke out of box and provides very little current to each individual port

Yes. I currently am using 2 HDD's for total redundancy of my data so 2 4tb drives only provide 4tb of data storage. I am using a 3rd 4tb HDD to automatically backup the data. In the future if I add 2 more 4tb drives I could double the capacity of both the online storage and backup capacity.

It does not come with a hard drive. It only has the installation bay for one up to 2TB.

It comes with one DVD/CD-RW drive. There is a bay for a second. Internally I believe there is a slot for a second hard drive.

Mine came with 2 drives with RAID 1. Suggest you to review the spec at http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/4178-705315.pdf

Hi, Yes there is another bay for a 2nd Hard drive. There is also another for a 2nd CD/DVD player. Connectors from power supply for 2nd devices already in place. IDE Cable needed for additional devices, the hard drive requires cable with a 90 degree connector on one end. Hope this helps. :-)

There is no hard drive. I suggest going to Western Digital's website and reading up on the features of this and the other units

To the best of my knowledge: No!. You'd have to verify with the company, however. I've only used drives up to 2TB (mostly due to OS compatibility).

I ordered the 1TB for a friend a few months ago and I'm pretty sure it came in retail packaging. I would guess 2TB would come Retail too.
