It is not clear if the device has the boxes for hard drives installation, could you confirm if I can install any model of hard drive?

You can install data drives, 3.5" models. All must be the same mfg, model and size. IBM does recommend certain drives and you can find them at their website for the device.

It comes with the brackets to install all 4 drives, as to any hard drive I am not sure. They have a list of tested and recommended hard drives, there are a lot of mfgs and models. You also want to install in matching pairs at least and possibly all4 the same if you want to use certain RAID structures.

It comes with 4 plastic drive clips. They snap onto the drive, then you slide it into the chassis and it clips in. You squeeze the clips to slide it back out. One thing to note, on the first try (while you are trying to be careful not to break anything) it is easy to stop short of actually connecting the drive. This is because the clips have a little resistance going by the plastic frame before they actually clip into the metal drive chassis. Once you figure this out, is easy to tell when clipped in or not. Very easy to use.

Yes, some 4T drives are supported. Hard disk compatibility can be searched for any of their units on their web site: http://www.synology.com/support/hd.php

I just now went to the manufacturers web site and downloaded the user manual for this device. And in the manual it states that it supports drives up to 4TB depending on the operating system you are using. Go to this link and you can download the manual to see for yourself.

Not being a real computer geek, I can't give a 100% positive answer, but I think most hard drives are compatible with just about anything. Of all the hard drives I've installed or have had fail and replaced, I've never had a compatibility problem with anything.

The unit comes with any Hard Drive. I am currently using a 2TB SATA Hard Drive in my unit with any problems.

This device gives you the option to add more storage ( USB External hard drive/ USB drive etc and to add maybe a usb hub so that you can do more with your device. I hope this answers your question :)

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

Yes, the hard drive is in the central control box. Mine was 500GB, but I think the new ones are 1 or 2TB.

Nobody supplies such interfaces, you need to buy a 2.5" USB disk enclosure for it - they are inexpensive. You will be able to use it for your old HDD as a backup, thus it is a reasonable investment. Here is an example of such enclosure: Sabrent USB 3.0 To 2.5-Inch Sata Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure Case (for 2.5-Inch SATA-I, SATA-II, SATA-III HDD and SSD) Black (EC-ABYM)

I really am not sure. I have a Dell and I did install it as second hard drive and it works. I am not sure of model.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.

I haven't used a hard-drive but it says that it can. Tried a jump drive and works great.

Hi&#65292;this system has no hard driver pre installed&#65292;you could choose the hdd 500GB or 1TB as you like. Thank you.

You have to purchase the hard drive separately . Look for something like this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D1GYNU8/ref=s9_qpick_gw_d99_g147_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=mobile-1&pf;_rd_r=0SM11GAHMBCA1DC23HN5&pf;_rd_t=36701&pf;_rd_p=1824974342&pf;_rd_i=mobile

I think so but cant say for sure as I couldnt even get the thing to read a basic caviar green hard drive. spent 6 hrs going through forums to try to get the thing to recognize a simple hdd. piece of crap if u ask me.
