Can this support 8 4TB drives in RAID 0?

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.

Assuming 4TB drives a re supported (may require a firmware upgrade on the RAID controller) then 32TB is correct. If 4TB drives aren't supported by Highpoint (the RAID controller vendor) then the limit is 24TB (8x3TB drives.)

Absolutely. there are always SOME weird motherboards and some NAS's that don't like certain HDD's, so it isn't guaranteed, but it's a real nice, solid, good working drive. Read some reviews on it. In RAID 0, by the way, you can make up for the 5400 RPM and make these things scream and still have the low heat, low power consumption.

yes you can, and as you add it will expand the RAID. Check out the Thecus forum or tech support their is a lot of answers there.

The DS2413+ does support 4 TB drives for a total of 48 TB of storage. Here is a link to the Synology page that shows the list of drive models that have been confirmed to work with the DS2413+: https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/hd/model/DS2413+

Hi, yes indeed, as well as being a raid 0, 1, 5 unit this product is also a very competent JBOD (just a bunch of discs) that interfaces with your via a decent USB 3.0 port. It very (too) easily switches between those storage configurations; just don't make the mistake of switching before you've backed up your data!!

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

Yes the software allows different configurations of RAID or independent configurations. I current have 2 4tb velo drives and they are configured as two individual drives. This is accomplished by selecting flex-Raid and not X- Raid during the setup process.

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.

Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

Hi, that depends on the configuration of your drives, if it raid 0,1 or 5, then it should see as a single drive, else, it wont be possible to see all the drives

I believe once you change to flex-raid you can setup the drives however you would like. If you have 4 drives you can use raid 1 for two drive and leave the others drives as raid 0

I believe by default they come in a RAID 1, which would give you 2TB of total storage. If you set it to RAID0, you'll get use of all 4TB (probably 3.6 or so useable) but you will not have redundancy.

yes can put any size drive in the bays that you'd like, but if you want them to be part of a raid, they have to be all of a matching gb size. I have 3 2tb drives set up as a raid, and a couple of randomly size drives as backups that aren't included in the raid. overall it's a very versatile piece of equipment.

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.

Yes. The default raid setup will need to be disabled but it's not a problem. I have 2 drives raid 1 and another 2 drives raid 0. You can create a volume on a single drive too.
