second screen

I just ordered my duo2 (I am very excited)

I have read a lot of reviews about the new box, all are saying is very impressive. But I have not seen much on the second screen (LCD)

I am guessing it will show Picons, what else do we think the LCD screen will do.

I also want to buy a new hard drive, can the duo2 handle a 2tb hard drive.

Another question is which is best a 2.5 or 3.5, is one better than the other

Im lead to understand it can even show what your watching, im thinking a screen that size no matter what's displayed will wind me up to be honest.

Th old duo could use a 2tb drive so I don't think there will be a issue using a drive that size on the duo2.

Ive pre ordered also and like you ive chose a 2tb drive for it. Low speed 5000rpm 3.5 ive gone for the 2.5 may be quieter.

ok thank you, I think I will go with a 2.5, what difference does the rpm make, is faster better or quicker

You don't need the 7200 drives and they tend to make more noise.
