Assuming you are looking for a desktop hard drive, you should be able to use any Serial-ATA drive that will fit in a 3.5" bay compartment. Right now, the "sweet spot" for getting the most bang for the buck is a 2TB drive - http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST2000DM001/dp/B005T3GRN2/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1403804113&sr=1-7

Any sata drive should be fine, and all of the versions are backwards compatible with the sata version. You just have to screw it into the caddy on your current drive, but if you don't need that much space look at a 128 GB solid state drive sdd at 2.5 inches. Make your lap top faster on the cheap.

As J.C. says, any brand will work. I would first find the storage capacity you need in a SATA 3.5" then look at reviews of the hard drives. I have used Seagate, Western Digital, and Hitachi. I don't stick to any one brand anymore, they all have good and bad models/batches.

You can use any 3 1/2" Sata Hard Drive for this system Just need to know where to look Try e-bay or craigslist

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I'm honestly not sure. My son ordered it and we ended up returning it because it turns out it wasn't what we needed. I don't think I even touched the hard drive. Sorry.

I bought a hard drive from Go Hard Drive and had a problem. I tried to get warranty from WD and in fact returned it to them and they told me it was not one of their drives. I returned it to Go Hard Drive and they replaced it. Please, if you want a genuine WD drive, make sure you are buying it from a genuine WD dealer. Then verify the production date when you receive it and update the warranty with WD.

I was so disgusted with the manufacturer I did not make a warranty claim on WD. There is no reason to expect a WD replacement drive to be any better than the original. I replaced the drive with one from another manufacturer.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

The WD Red Series are the only drives I put in mine (17 of the 3TB ones). I would strongly suggest the 3TB or 4TB versions of the WD Red NAS drives for this unit and nothing else.

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

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