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. -- StainlessSteelRat http://www.stainlesssteelrat.net "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." -- Albert Einstein
