I haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet. Does anyone know if the HMV-U320-R-600M will run in that OS? Do I need a firmware update and is the firmware still available?
Also, I'm looking into upping the capacity. Is there a list of compatible drives?

I haven't heard of, or done any testing myself with Snow Leopard. From my understanding, the new OS is based closely off of the original Leopard, so I do not see much changing that would impact the compatibility of any of the MediaVaault disk arrays. As long as ATTO or your Host Bus Adapter card manufacturer releases drivers for Snow Leopard, I do not see why it wouldn't work.
It's a really good idea to have your Firmware up to date. For your system, I would use 19d. I can provide the firmware file. email me at RiverbendPC@aol.com
Drive upgrades:
250G, 0A31611
400G, 0A30228
500G, 0A31613
Again, email me to discuss this more and i can provide a source for the drives.
