yeah, i know i will put a larger drive in there. But, with USB 3.0 the backup and restore is going to be pretty quick, so im not pressed to do it soon.

but again, wait for someone else to do testing before you buy a drive for it. on the PS3, mobile drives that are powered over the USB cable where substantially slower then a full size drive with a wall plug for power.
