An internal SATA 3.5" or 2.5" (2.5" needs a bracket to hold the HDD) would be compatible with this system, Western Digital and Seagate are both ok with this system, thank you.

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

4TB . I chose the ds212j. Just a little more money. More ram and double the space.

From past experiences with WD I stopped using them several years ago. Seagate or Hitachi would be a better choice in my opinion.

Honestly you'd be fine to install any standard computer hard drive that is designed to operate 24/7. Brands like like Seagate, or Western Digital up to 2TB in size should do the trick.

if you dont want to invest much with SSD and want more space, you can buy seagate 2.5 in SSHD here: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386149777&sr=8-1&keywords=2.5+sshd

Unless you need super fast access or archival protection for your collection I would use a mechanical HDD. The extra expense and smaller capacity of the SDD would be a limiting factor.

changing the drive is easy, any SSD SATA would do. I would go about 250g or bigger if you can afford it. Don't forget to clone from the original to get all the proper drivers .

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

Regarding HDD, an internal SATA 3.5" Consumer Electronics Grade one would be compatible with our system.We recommend that you only purchase Consumer Electronics Grade Hard Drives such as:Western Digital Audio Video Green Power (AV-GP), Seagate SV35 Series, Hitachi Cinema Star Series.And it support up to 2TB, thanks.

I would suggest you visit the thecus website, find the unit you are interested in and then look up the HDD compatibility for the drives you are thinking about. I would recommend you pick enterprise type disks and buy a spare additional disk of the same kind to have on the shelf in case one fails.

Amazon is your best bet for selection and price for an internal hard drive. Just make sure it has the right SATA connectors for your DVR

Good to know for others, but luckily my HDD happens to be 2TB, so it worked just fine for me.

2 2TB drives. If you want to maximize storage space, choose a different raid configuration.
