Amount of storage that came by default?

If you bought a system without a hard drive then you will need to install one so you will have some storage.

This particular model came with no hard drive and I ended up purchasing a Western Digital 500 gigabyte hard drive and install it myself - very easy to do. Itended up being cheaper to do it this way than to purchase it with the hard drive already installed.

Hi, I put a Hard drive in after I bought it, I think it will take up to 2tb hard drives/

There is no storage by "default". You must purchase a hard drive and install it into the DVR. MAKE SURE YOU GET A HARD DRIVE RATED FOR DVR USE!!! There is a 500g and a 1T size recommended by Amazon. Look here: WD AV-GP 1 TB AV Video Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD10EURX and here: WD Blue 500GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5000AAKX

This model comes with no hard drive. As stated by others, I installed a 2Tb hard drive and it has worked flawlessly. Very simple hard drive installation. A couple screws and one plug.

I had about 70gb free out of the box. Haven't uninstalled the bloatware yet.

This could be a question for Dell rather than me but I've never got anywhere near the 320Gb anyway. I have a feeling it could be a total of 500 but split in some way with a backup of 180?

I think you can chose which gb you would like to use depending on how much storage you want. I hope this answers your question.

Do be honest I am not sure, but I downloaded a TON of stuff and simply moved to an SD card. I had no problems with space at all.

I plugged my 128GB drive and also see only 119 GB. I am running FAT32 on Win 7 and got the same amount. Tried formatting in NTFS?

I believe that is probably because of all the preloaded things which take up some of that space. So when it says 8gbs it's including that as part of it. So in actuality you have 6.71gbs.

i added a 64gb, and it had no problems formatting or using the full capacity of the disk.

Hello. It will vary. You should probably see about 230GB usable remaining space give or take after the install of Windows 7.

I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used. In that sense, there is essentially 100% space remaining. But the number of bytes in a 16GB should really be 17,179,869,184 so in that sense it really has 92.54% space remaining. In the disk management screen, it says it has "14.81GB free", and 14.81 happens to be 92.56% of 16. Since 14.81 is rounded, I think it's safe to assume that's the how it calculated the space free for display purposes.If you get the exact same free space by percentage, you'd end up with 29.62GB. Googling around, it seems that 29.8GB is the most likely figure. I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used.

After installing Words, Excel, PowerPoint and some essential applications, you'll be left with about 90 gig of hard drive. I think that's more than enough for everyday tasking. I store about a thousand songs and 50 full HD music videos and it only takes up 20 gig. I still have 70 gig left and don't know how to use them up haha. FYI, with 1 gig, you can store hundreds of words/excel/powerpoint files.

this has less to do with the fs type, and more with the type of data you expect to store on it. Unless you are planning on storing a whole lot of tiny files, your best bet it to follow the defaults. exFat was developed by MS, so their default spec is your best choice. According to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140365 the default for a 32gb disk is 128kb. If you think you might be storing lots of files smaller than 128kb, then you might want to go for 32kb.

Depends on how much crap you have. I have the 32gb version and have 14 gb just sitting around not being used....

After installing the drive in my ps4, there is 862gb of usable space. Hope that helps.

After Formatting it and the OS takes almost 11% of the formatted Drive... 806GB is Available of the 1TB ,which in my opinion it's still a lot, can't really say on the 500GB though
