What hard drives are compatible with this pc? Sata2 or 3? 3.5in or 2.5in? I can't find those kind of details.

I installed a Crucial M500 120GB SSD SATA 3 2.5" Hard Drive and it is working well. It has to be 2.5". Not sure on SATA 2.

2.5 inch, no room for an 3.5 drive you should go with the SSD, its easier on the power supply. I am not sure the compatibility between sata 2 & sata 3, the box has USB 3, that is good. I was surprised to see the box run win server 2012 when we loaded it as a domain controller.

Only 2.5" and make sure it isn't a bulky case- not a ton of space in there. I'm running SATA2 in mine, not sure if 3 is compatible or not though. I have a Corsair Nova Series 2 2.5" Sata II SSD in mine.

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.

You can use any SATA drive, I think. I would recommend a drive intended for continuous use, such as a NAS drive. I picked a WD Red, 4TB,

I believe your hard drive is 2.5 inch. Check the specification of the cable wether it is a ZIF type or PATA/etc.

The sata connectors will all be on a chain together, look on your hard drive and see the connector that is the largest slot? Find the cables that match the shape of the connector, remember don't force it too much, make sure you are inserting it the right way

I am no expert so I took out the hard drive and looked at the specs and ordered a brand with same specs such as sata drive what the amount of memory i wanted and need there are sites you can go on and put in a search to find a compatible one with the specs you find on your hard drive , hoe this hels yes I am a woman and ever did this before but It worked fine. Good Luck

You can use regular 2.5" HDDs but you'll want to pay attention to the thickness of the drive. I went with a WD Red 1TB. I don't have the article handy but there is a good writeup out there on the max thickness and even how to mod it for thicker drives.

Sure is - any 2.5" Sata HDD will do the trick. I do recommend upgrading to the WD Black rather than Bare. They're built better and have faster read/write speeds.

The user manual, last updated in 2008, says, "Two Hard Drive Bays for 3.5" SATA Hard Drives of Any Capacity". The list of tested hard drives was last updated in November 2012 at http://support.dlink.com/list.aspx?type=1&model;=DNS-321%20hard%20drives. If the drive you want to use is not listed, you might try contacting customer support.

This drive will work in many standard desktop computers if the computer has a SATA interface. There are adapters to make the 2.5 drive physically mount properly in a 3.5 standard desktop mounts.

A Sata Hard drive are very easy to come by in many sizes. Just seach amazon for a SATA hard drive and pick your size. Be sure to check what type of sata drive you need. I think this unit needs a SATA 2 or 3. I purchased a 400GB hard drive and it works great. Something like this ... http://www.amazon.com/Black-320-Mobile-Hard-Drive/dp/B001CO3EKQ/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1365438733&sr=1-9&keywords=sata+2+hard+drive

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

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 <Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT> it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

It is SATA II, the previous response is incorrect. SATA II = 3 GB/s, SATA III = 6 GB/s. SATA III is backward-compatible to SATA II but limited to the speed of the SATA II port.

The official website says that it does fit a 2.5" SATA drive. It also shows the bracket mount. Is the model number wrong here?
