You should login to the Western Digital website and pose the question to their customer support or tech support.

This model does NOT support RAID, though you could have them run independently and have one serve TV shows while the other does movies and music for example. They would just have different unc paths.

No. The days of internal expansion are over. Suggest you take a look at the 2013 model, you can 4 Drives.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.

I see this question a number of times here. There is a misunderstanding about disks 3TB or larger will only show 2.19TB. ONLY IF you are trying to make it a bootable device. If you are going to use it as a backup disks and if you just want to dump files there, it is not a problem. I would say it is Amazon's problem in that they were not clear. This is unfortunate, but I wonder if anyone chose a lower capacity disk due to the comment.

The later model 360 cannot be upgraded because the hd is internal. Unless you know someone who can mod it for you or you can do it yourself, there may be a cheaper route. The earlier models had external hard drives you could swap out. Sorry for the let down

You can add more memory, but there are only 2 hard drive slots. You'll just be able to upgrade to higher capacity hard drives, but can't add more.

We have the seller here indicating that this enclosure will work with a 6Tb drive, whereas there is another question raising an inability to run a 4Tb drive - which is answered by a comment that a 2Tb drive was successfully housed. We need to have the seller or manufacturer settle these questions. IS THERE an upper limit to drive capacity; or are there any limits to drive type or SATA permutations?

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!

Hey gringo, no problem, I have a 750gb time machine a 2tb drive and often have another 3tb hooked into it. Cheers.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

On their web site it yes it's Expandable storage, available in Diskless, 4TB, 6TB & 8TB of capacity. So for them to get to 8TB would be 2 of the 4 TB's

There is space for only 2 HDD's in this unit. If both slots are used, then you would need to add larger drives. If you have (2) 1TB drives mirrored and needed more space, you could remove one 1TB drive, add a 4TB drive, rebuild the mirror, then removed the second 1TB drive and add a second 4TB drive then rebuild. This would keep the data online while you upgrade. After the HDD swapping and rebuilding, the new 6TB of space (3TB from each disk) could be made into another volume (mirrored or striped). Adding drive by the USB port is good for backing up your data to an external device, but I haven't tried to use a USB attached device to share data as it it's part of the NAS unit.

You can not actually add additional hard drive, but you could replace the original with new one has more capacity.I would suggest to use external hard drive.

Actually, disregard my previous response. I had this drive, but it was a 2TB model, not 3TB. There's a limit of 2.19TB for older Windows version (including Win 7) unless you have hardware that supports GPT partitioning, which I honestly don't know much about at this time. I'd recommend going with a 2TB version to be on the safe side.

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.
