Have a look at the last page of Rudi Cheow's guide. It has compatible drives 
listed

> 2) What drives aren't/or should I avoid?

Generally speaking avoid the faster drives as the power requirements are too 
high and cause issues. But you should really only buy a drive that's been 
tested and confirmed compatible, otherwise you could be throwing money away.

> 3) Is there a HDD size limitation in GB for the player?

Not as such, but there's a track limit. The system works off a database 
which is limited to around 16,000 tracks. The less data you have in a tag 
the better, and the more tracks you can fit on. Others have also reported 
odd behaviour with playlists when the track numbers are high.

> 4) what RPM, MB Cache should I purchase (or does this not matter)?

See above.
