The type of external hard drive that would be compatible would be a USB 2.0 external hard drive, with an external power source (not powered by the receiver's USB port.) The EHD minimum size would be 50GB and the maximum size is 2TB. In general, major brand-name external EHDs sold today are compatible, but currently only single EHD units are supported.
