Hardware Compatibility
HDD models for usage with internal HDD rack.
For player models having internal HDD rack (such as Dune HD Mini, Dune HD
Center, Dune HD Base, Dune HD Base 2.0, Dune HD Base 3.0), please consider
the following recommendations:
- Use HDD with a suitable heat emission level. The exact suitable HDD
models may depend on various factors, such as the ambient temperature
and player cooling and airflow conditions. Generally, it is recommended
to use HDD models with the smallest possible RPM value (e.g. 5400 RPM),
smallest possible number of platters (e.g. 1 or 2 platters), and specially
optimized for reduced power consumption and heat production and for use
inside A/V equipment (e.g. Western Digital Green Power series).
- For example, HDD models such as Western Digital WD5000AACS (500 GB,
5400 RPM, 2 platters) and Seagate ST31000528AS (1000GB, 7200 RPM, 2
platters) are typicaly suitable.
- HDD models with high heat production, such as Seagate ST31500341AS
(1500 GB, 7200 RPM, 4 platters) are not suitable and must not be used.
