Hi,
Due to having lots of blu ray rips on my 4Tb internal drive, I need a bit more space.
My options are,
a) put a 6Tb drive into the Duo2
b) buy a 2 or 4Tb external drive
c) buy a NAS with an additional drive and use that.
With regards option b, I'm wondering if there are any issues in connecting a second drive to either the USB or eSata ports on the Duo2.
I would prefer something that is powered only when the Duo2 is on, so I suppose that limits me to a 2Tb 2.5" drive via USB.
Anyone have experience with running an external drive able to comment on their experiences?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Lee
