This is almost exactly what I am looking for. However, I need to fit 6 3.5" disks to make a RaidZ2 6x4TB drive array. Is there anyway to squeeze them?

No, you can't put there 6 3.5" hard drive in. It's only four bay for 3.5" hard drives. But, you can squeeze two 2.5" hard drives as well.

No 6 3.5" drives won't fit.there are 4 3.5" hot swap bays and 2 internal 2.5" drive bays

I bought 3 of these and they each have different drive. I do not see any reason why your drive will not work as long as it is 3.5". The tricky part is opening case to install your drive...but You Tube has videos to instruct how to do it. I love these external cases!,

I'm the one that answered your question about the different sizes of storage system....my answer was rather long. Anyway, forgot to give u my email address if u have further questions. It is kevtam07@yahoo.com

I have 5- 3.5" 3TB drives in mine. You could probably use the 5.25" bays to mount up to 2 additional 3.5" drives with some adapters.

http://store.synologyamerica.com/Product.aspx?ProductId=98If I recall there are three types of 2.5" disk holders, so it would depend on which Synology Model you own.But you should find the one you are looking for at the Synology Store.

Yep. There is a mount at the bottom of the case that will take a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive. You can also get adapters to put a 2.5 in any 3.5 slot.Specifically on this case, you may want to watch this quick unboxing and feature review video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v;=qJutw4eyvJ4

Yes just make sure whatever raid utility you choose can utilize 4tb partitions otherwise you'll have to have 16 2tb partitions. Also make sure not to use anything such as Western Digital Green drives that have auto off or time out features as it will break the array every time one of the drives powers down. I use Seagate Barracuda drives in mine.

That's a very specific problem. You would probably need to buy another case to get what you're looking for.You could try contacting Raidmax customer support to see if there's something they can do for you: http://raidmax.com/support.htmlIf all else fails, you could get a 3.5" all-in-one type thing like this: TabStore 5.25" PC Dashboard Media LCD Front Panel Audio SD MS MMC CF XD TF M2 Card Reader with Fan Control USB 3.0

Not sure why there would be a size limitation. I am using 1.5 to 3Tb SATA drives with no problems

No, the drive is supported on a narrow ledge inside the box on the sides. There is no adapter for smaller drives

Just measured mine. One will only take standard 9.5mm drives. The other will fit up to 12mm without issue. 15mm will be pushing on the top cover and not fit nicely. Sorry.

Based on the Synology RAID calculator you should have 12TB of usable space and 6TB of parity (http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator)Adding 3 x 3TB drives would give you 18TB of usable space and 6TB of parity

I don't really know.It could be, that this will work.I'm running mine with 4x3TB in RAID 5 with no problems.

I own a WD 2TB 2.5" drive. Very few enclosures can handle it - it is 15mm thick. I use mine with a Drobo Transporter, which easily handles 15mm drives.

There are different ways to interpret your question - physical size of storage capacity. Of course it will handle any disk capacity but it will only hold 3-1/2 inch physical size drives.I think a handy solution to support 3-1/2" or 2-1/2" drives is the "Snap-In 25 adapter from Addonics.Have a look at Addonics Storage Bay Adapter AE25SN35SA or for information from the source's mouth: http://www.addonics.com/products/ae25sn35sa.php

Negative. It's made for slim 2.5" SSD drives. The purpose of RAID is if you have a controller capable of raiding these drives. For all intent and purposes, it's a pass thru design.

Generally, a drive bay adapter like this one will fit into an case with three available 5 3/4" drive bays. However, you will probably have to remove that toolless fastener stuff and use regular m3x6 (optical drive) screws. You might also be interested in a Cooler Master 4 in 3 HDD Module Device - (STB-3T4-E3-GP). Good luck!
