Will it handle large files (like in excess of 10 gb)? Some hard drives can't take anything over 4 gb.

It certainily should but I had to return it because it did nothing but grind when I tried to use it. So returned it and went without!

Don't own this particular disk, but the support for large files is unrelated with the disk itself. It is a limitation of the file system used on it, so if you format the drive as FAT, then it will have an upper limit on file sizes of 4gb. There are other file systems which support bigger files, such as NTFS (or HFS+ in case you're using a Mac). But do notice that FAT is still the most widely supported format, so some devices might have issue reading from a NTFS disk.

Hey Matt I have used up to 16 gb so far with no problems. I bet you could use any size, as operationally its not different software so good luck! Hope it helps!

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

I have not tried. I have tried upto 1tb. If your drive has external power supply i dont see why should there be a problem. However i think i read somewhere that it supports upto 1tb. Anyways i found this product super useful.

Windows 7 can absolutely handle a drive this size. This drive works great with windows 7.

Not 100% sure, the manual does not state a maximum allowed storage card, only the supported types. I have a 32GB in mine and it works just fine. Hope this kind of helps...

I cannot say for sure as mine spins 4TB disks but since the firmware in Linux, I would imagine the size restriction would be a function of the file system employed. I believe currently (as of my model around April 2014) they use ext4. "The ext4 filesystem can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exbibyte (EiB) and files with sizes up to 16 tebibytes (TiB)." en dot WikipediaHTH

It can support any size hard drive you want. The only thing is the amount of bays to fit a drive. There is 2 bays within the computer.

Yea, 32 GB shouldn't be an issue, but make sure it's class 10 so it's fast enough to record. Your record time will depend on a lot of stuff... straight run, open and shut, on and off. Hard to calculate. It isn't "really" long though. Sorry, can't be precise.

Hi Alex,I used with a hard disk from an old laptop and just have 160 Gb, but there does not exist any limitation about the hard disk storage size but you must check if your hard drive is "laptop size" (2.5") not "pc size".

For NTFS the max file size for that drive would be the capacity of the drive. For FAT32 it would be limited to 4Gb file size. It comes formatted in FAT32.

I'm not sure of the largest size drive. I have a 2TB drive in it. I'm only using USB 2.0 and it's very, very ssssslow. I would not buy it unless you have USB 3.0 capability.

I think it will hold up to a 32 Gb. It might be 64, but sure it isn't higher. The largest one I have is 32 that I've used.
