Does any sata 3.5 HD works with this enclosure? I have one 500 GB and one 1Tb . 2. Do the two disk have to match in capacity?

It requests a wd red nas drive if the hard drives you have are nas drives I dont see why they wouldn't work the two disks do not need to match in size

It depends how you want to use it. In Raid 0 it will work, but in Raid 1 it will not work.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

SATA 2.5 (laptop drives) work with this, SATA 3.5 (desktop computer hard drives) you need the bigger enclosure they also sell on amazon. I used this with my Playstation 3 hard drive. If you have the hard drive out already it should be about 2.5 inches width, if you bought it somehwere they should list it in the info in the specs.

Physically Any 3.5" hdd should fit fine. As far as drive specifications, I have two bays in my server, 1 has a 1.5TB and the other has a 2TB drive. I can't test anything larger as my larger drives are SAS rather than Sata.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

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 don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

An internal SATA 3.5" or 2.5" (2.5" needs a bracket to hold the HDD) would be compatible with this system, Western Digital and Seagate are both ok with this system, thank you.

I don't think it matters. From the PDF it looks like they're both sata connections. I think I picked the one that gave the hard drive the most room.

I haven't had any problems with any of the 3.5" drives I have tried. I think I have a Western Digital Green 1Tb in one and a 1.5Tb in the other at the moment (I have two, one for my main drive, the second for my backup).

I installed a WD 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0 3.5 in drive in my StarTech 3.5 in Superspeed HDD Enclosure and it works very well!!

It does not work with my 3TB Seagate. This same drive I used on my nbox and it worked fine.

I have not had problems with my enclosure, but it will not work with your older ATA HDD. The enclosure is designed for a SATA connection.

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.

This enclosure will work with any HD 1tb to 2tb or smaller size . It's very good that two ports are on it making it very easy to use.

This will work with either SATA or PATA drives, connectors are included for both. I hooked up an old 250 GB. PATA drive as new motherboard had no connectors for it.

As J.C. says, any brand will work. I would first find the storage capacity you need in a SATA 3.5" then look at reviews of the hard drives. I have used Seagate, Western Digital, and Hitachi. I don't stick to any one brand anymore, they all have good and bad models/batches.
