Yes, the HR1 Hub can be used with the 256GB storage drive. There are several articles online about this and the two are also sold as a kit online.

Hi. You can do this if you buy it from Apple directly (their website). If you select this model 13-inch: 2.4GHz with Retina display, you can improve the processor and the RAM (for 200usd), and still keep the HDD 250. I dont own one ... i just know because i'm looking for one to buy :) I'm sorry nobody answered before :( it's probably too late!

I used a 1T that I already had; it was more than enough. The external HD depends on how much data you stored in it. 250 should be enough, in my opinion.

My drive failed data transfers and was unusabe. It showed 256G but even 4G could be stored and retrieved before it was loosing files and crashing. Would not recomend unless you were interested in saying you have a 256G drive that you can show. Just dont use for anything you want to keep.

I did a lot of research on that before purchasing and found out that the 500GB runs at 7200 RPM while the 1GB runs at 5400RPM.Hope that helps!

The 8300HD depends on the software on the box. I have heard 8300HDs will support 1TB drives, but that was a while back so I don't know the true limit. It all comes down to what OS it uses.

Storage should be in the specs. Best to just check them out. Mine was 256gb solid state drive.

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

all i did was. i had (1) 512mb and added (1gb) to the other slot works for me but the best way to do that is get 2i have 1.5 gb now. computers work by the power of 2 -- so if you have 128+ 128 =256 or 256+256 =512512+512=1gb not all computers are picky some time you can like me 512+1gb and it works but other computers some time the power of 2 is the way you have to go

SDHC CARD (at least that's what is written on the little thing) Hope that helps. I don't think the amount of storage makes any difference.

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

Haha yes just be sure you have the 250 gb option selected. I know they merge various versions under the same reviews so just be careful.

I think a better option would be to set the 256GB as the boot/work drive and setting an external drive or Raid setup as storage.

Yes, you can. That's the main reason I bought it. Just make sure your HD is 2TB or less. It works great!

No, it has not. I also left negative feedback for the reseller but have heard nothing. Returning the unit is problematic as I have already activated it with DirecTV and I really want the HR44. The hard disk is the only problem I have with the unit so I am sending it off to Weaknees to have the drive upgraded.

Yeah, probably... 2 different file systems, but there is a way. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
