Hi M,

Yes, those are the ones I used; �155 each from eBuyer :

Seagate 2TB Constellation ES ST32000644NS - SATA-300; the automatic formatting in the TwinStore was very quick only about 10 minutes; then the TwinStore became available for use.

As I'm sure you spotted from the Seagate site, they now do the Constellation ES.2 ST33000650NS - 3 TB - SATA-600, which should also work fine in the TwinStore, but they�re not readily available yet in UK. Their available plus as I�ve got 800G of free space plus the 500G on the C15 if I really need it, I went for the 2TB drives.

Regards,
Carl

PS: Be very careful what you put in a TwinStore (or Ensemble) drive bay; as the automatic formatting will wipe the disk, including a formatted disk from an Ensemble. I'm told, but have not personally witnessed, that even moving a drive from one TwinStore to another with cause it to be formatted.

PPS: With a moderately fast PC and a 1G LAN / Switches etc.; I achieved a restore rate of 3 albums per minute.
