Not to sound stupid but I had a couple questions..how many gbs is a tb? Also does this come with the usb cord or do I need to purchase it seperately?

There are 1000 gbs in a tb. So, lots of space. And, YES - this comes with the usb cord.

1,000 gigabytes in a terabyte. yes it comes with a USB 3.0 cable - will work in all usb ports: 1.0, 1.1., 1.2, 2.0, and 3.0

If you purchase the diskless version, you will need to purchase and install storage for this device in the form of a standard 3.5 in. SATA internal PC hard drive. You can add up to two drives. You can attach your USB drive to this device for redundant back up of the device in case the disk(s) or system should ever fail.

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try. * At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.

I see the 8 GB HD part on the Summary, but it comes with a 16 GB HD at a minimum. I think it is just a typo in the Summary part. It depends on what selection you make for the HD as to whether it is 16 or 32 GB though. I've got the 32 GB with music, movies, magazines, photos, and books on it and I've still got plenty of disk space left. Hope this helped.

Hi Craig, Thanks for your useful input. At this stage I think I too should have gone for the 1TB model. Now I can't seem to download video clips onto the 1.5 TB. It starts off OK then freezes and the usual Task Manager solutions don't seem to help and I end up with the dreaded blue screen. I have to switch off and start again. Very boring. If anyone has a solution would be most grateful for help

Wow, at 2terrabyte why is that even an issue?? I have no idea.. Just use a huge external hard drive and it should be almost limitless. All I know is that 2tb seems like plenty, at least for me. In four years of many photos, I didn't even fill 250gig on my laptop that was my main computer at the time. I do like this all in one, tho it isn't quite as fast as I had hoped it would be. And I prefer the Windows seven side to the childish eight side. Love the large screen. Overall..I would recommend it..the storage should be plenty especially for a home computer.

*sigh*It's called flash memory. The device couldn't be this small or have as good battery life with a hard drive. Perhaps they'll release a HDD model in the future, but most people only need 16-32GB at most.

You have to purchase your own USB drive and it plugs into the back. To give you an idea about how many pictures a USB drive holds, I had a 2GB one lying around the house, and it held about 70 pictures. You can buy one with even bigger memory to hold more, they're fairly inexpensive.

Its a Solid State Drive...so it is much better than a regular hard drive or a 16gb USB drive. It doesn't spin, no moving parts, less mechanical error, and files store on it (like the operating system) will read much faster than a regular hard drive. I have a 120 gb solid state drive and my computer boots in 3 seconds. With that being said.....I also have a 2 tb drive as well but I play game and do video editing which this computer is not designed for.

I was wondering the same thing. So basically, it's impossible to purchase a 3TB drive that does not come with a plug? Unfortunate. :/

Most welcome. You might consider getting the 64 GB version of this drive instead of the 16 GB. It will give you a lot more flexibility, and at $24.99 you'll be paying 39 cents/GB instead of 63 cents/GB for the 16 GB drive. Just a thought.

This is what I want to know too. I think this doesn't have a hard drive otherwise they would list the size of the drive in the specs. One reviewer said he connected it to a portable hard drive. Seems kind of useless if it doesn't have it's own hard drive.

Yeah, I fell for it, too. I thought I was getting 2x 4TB drives -- and it is TB, btw...not gb (which is 1000x less). I found it's only 2x 2TB drives. I believe you can change the Raid to 0, though...which will stripe data across both of them and you'll get nearly 4TB of storage. The only downside to this is if one fails, you lose the data on both. Make it more fun then...and add a 2nd one to the network and have them back each other up =)

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of my space, oh, and of course ignore the fact that i just deleted 12TB of data the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of... » Read More the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of my space, oh, and of course ignore the fact that i just deleted 12TB of data « Show Less

I got this 3 TB drive. Personally it is no different from the 2 TB other then the obvious 1 TB extra. One thing to note since this drive is larger then 2 TB it will have to be formatted with GPT (GUID Partition Table) not MBR (Master Boot Record). You OS mush be able to support that, Windows 7 and up.

Same here: 750GB x 2. They're also not RAID 0, so you don't have one drive with 1.5TB, but rather a 750GB C: drive and a 750GB D: drive.
