Yes, you actually can add a hard drive. There are caveats to what you can do and you have to "hack" the unit (by adding a text file to a special folder on the drive - about the simplest hack I can think of) but it is very easy. Search for "fun_plug dns 323" on the search engine of your choice.

I ordered the 2TB model, and it came without a drive. I imagine that there is something incorrectly listed in the 2TB model listing.

The Asus web site provides no answer to either hard drive format compatibility or networking compatibility with ANY type of computer. That's what's holding me back. A couple of 1 TB drives formatted HFS+ and networked iMac and Macbook Pro laptop, and I refuse to take the plunge unless there's documentation somewhere. If you find it, please post!

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.

No it does not come with a hard drive. You have to buy one. You can get a cheap one that fits in a desktop compute for under 50 dollars.

There is no hard drive but you can plug a big on e into the USB port. I have a 2 TV drive that works great.

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.

This unit has drives already installed. You want the diskless version if you want to pick your own drives

No disks are included. I used NAS - specific drives in mine which perform well but you can use standard SATA drives too.

Yup, comes complete with everything. depending on how many drives you have, might need a few more SATA cables. Discs and drivers are pretty much useless, they have a program that auto scans the newest drivers and programs through MSI (Live Scan) i believe, and i update through that. Most drivers on the disc are out of date

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.

The unit comes without any harddrives. It can use (4) 4 tb drives. See the Qnap website and consult their recommended list of harddrives.

You have to buy the hard drives separately. If you want to have anything but a paperweight.

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

Yes. You are buying the "box" that controls the disks. You purchase the hard drive separately. Check the Synology website before purchasing to make sure the disks you purchase are compatible. There is a very long list of ones that are, so lots to choose from.
