    resale value is worth considering here too.
    Original VU boxes tend to keep a decent resale value even a year or 2 later...

    If ordering from the site sponsor, he'll add a great known working HDD for you.
    Other than that, any 2.5" hdd should work fine.

    Cheers, I didn't want to spend another £300 on a box. I convinced myself the Duo would be the last one. Bugger... better get saving.
