Hi

Happy New Year all.

Just to clarify, the unit that I have seen on eBay is a Media Core 600 (MC600) which is the big brother to the Media Drive 600 (MD600), the difference being that on the MC600 it has the ability to service 6 zones coupled with the RAID drives; the MD600 just has the the RAID drives. From your description, I would suggest that you should be looking at the MD600 if you are purely looking for additional storage. The MD600 is considerably cheaper (circa £500ish for the last one on eBay) and alot more common as the original price point was much lower than the MC600.

I have had a MD600 and IMHO is a pretty old tech. I sold mine and went for bigger SSDs fitted into my C10, C15 and MC200. Certainly 4TB SSD is perfectly possible with a C10/C15, I guess the same is true for the MC200, although from personal experience I have only gone to 2TB in a MC200.

When you consider the cost of an appropriate 2TB SSD, circa £100-£150 depending on quality, I suggest higher end for reliability, plus either your time or a competent techy to copy over your existing collection and fit into your MC200, it may prove to be better value. As previously mentioned, the alternative is to purchase another MC200, I would suggest the later 1TB version.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Jon
