I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with an attached 2TB HDD, running max2play OS and LMS, it just works. You would need: A Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and a suitable case & power supply: http://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b Download and burn the max2play image to an 8GB micro SD card: http://www.max2play.com/en/max2play-image/ or buy a ready to use SD card: http://shop.max2play.com/en/sd-karten-emmc-module.html Insert the SD card, a LAN cable and power up, all set-up is then done through a web browser on your PC/mac http://www.max2play.com/en/getting-started/ Insall & configure LMS.
