How hot does three hard drives get when installed into this? What type of hard drives?

I don't know, because right now I only have one 3.5" drive installed. But. The fan in front of this bay adapter blows outside air directly on the drives, I don't see how drives could be mounted in any cooler manner than this enclosure, since in the usual way drives are mounted in a tower, there is no direct air for them at all, they are cooled only by convection with the air inside the box.

My drives stay circa 20-25F above ambient. The description notes 3 X 3.5 inch drives.

I currently have a 3TB drive in it and it's working fine. I cannot comment on 4TB.

Hard drive is 7mm SATA3 type with 6Gbps bandwidth, also you can use mSATA slot for expansion

The drive is capable of 6. Works fine at 3. May see increase in speed over 3 only drive due to buffering

Its just a power run. If your psu has enough wattage it'll be fine. Look at the 4 pin power connectors....they're all pigtailed (runs). Explorer sees drives depending on sata/ide...has nothing to do with power connections.

I am assuming you mean "Solid State Drives". As far as hard drives go there are I think 4 3.5" bays and 1 2.5" spot on the bottom of the case.

Very easy. In my case, since I use 3 of them, I use external power supplies (Took them from old computers). As for the Hard drives, just get some SATA or IDE cables (depending on your HDs) and connect them to the computer. If the computer doesn't have more SATA or IDE connectors, you will need to get a card. Hope this helps

Iam sorry, I do not have the slightest idea what hard drive it uses. Best bet is to call customer service

I got the backup because it was what was available at the time and I needed space to save my video, music and picture files on my older dying WD drive. I also wanted to expand my video library and now have over 2TB filled. I am looking into getting another 3TB for expansion and will be looking into the differences myself. I did not realize the heat was an issue with my old drive until it started dying. I have an external fan mounted to my Seagate just in case but it seems to run cooler than the others.

I have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. It has been running non-stop since I bought it. The best investment I've made in computer hardware in long time. Segate and Western digital will both work in it. Not sure if differnt size drives will work though.

Hi,Heat none, noise lets says like a normal hard drive do, a little bit of noise.

I have one in mine. It really doesnt matter because you could put an SSD anywhere. They dont generate heat like a hard drive does. I dont think they generate heat at all. But there's slots inside where I put mine on.

Mine is dead quiet? I read comments about the noisy fan also but I have never heard any noise at all.I installed a 3 tb red WD hard drive and formatted with no trouble. And I have no expertise at all.

I bought 2 units with 2 Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM 3.5-Inch drives 7 months ago. Both of the drives have been running 24/7 non stop without any issues.
