Hi atomarchio,

Good day!

Our ReadyNAS OS6 units supports ReadyDLNA which you can use to stream media on your ReadyNAS to your DLNA players like the PS3, Xbox 360 , DLNA Smart TVs and TiVo. See images below, these are ReadyNAS settings for DLNA.

Does the ReadyNas OS6 already come with the hard drives and operating system pre-installed? I only need 2TB.

What is the part numbe I should use for ordering?

  Hi atomarchio,
  
  The harddrives are optional, there are models where harddrives are included and models that are chassis only (you can buy your preferred harddrive. NOTE: Harddrives should be part of the HDD compatibility list). The chassis of the NAS has a flash memory where it stores some of the OS, when you insert a harddrive and install the NAS it will be copied onto it. For small home networks, I would recommend the ReadyNAS 100 series and ReadyNAS 200 series.
  
  Here's a tip when selecting a model number, for you to know which one you are looking for (in terms of size) see this naming convention:
  
  Example: Model number RN20222D
  
  RN - ReadyNAS 202 - 200 series 2 - 2 bay 2 - 2 TB HDD D - Desktop drives
  
  This model contains, 2 2TB desktop drives. Total capacity of 4TB (without redundancy), 2 TB capacity (with redundancy).
  
  Thanks,
