The specs above are not clear, but the maximum disk size is 2TB. My 4TB WD Red did NOT work in this enclosure.

Good to know for others, but luckily my HDD happens to be 2TB, so it worked just fine for me.

Assuming you mean "capacity" and not "physical size", I don't think so. I picked this up from the store, and returned it the next day after it failed to work with a 3TB WD Caviar Green drive, though it worked fine with a 1TB version of the same drive. I never did any additional research, so I don't know for sure, but it's probably limited to 2TB hdds, like most of the older external enclosures I've come across.

I put a 3TB in it and it does not recognize the entire drive. I have 746.52GB unusable space on the Disk.

The size of the drive is dependent on the operating system you are using 2TB max for XP, Win 7 9TB.

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.

This DEVICE is 500GB, size is right in the description of the item. Not sure what you're asking about 1TB??? Mine works with WIN7 Dell laptop and a 1.7GH HP desktop PC.

Yes, I have one built with 4x6TB WD RED drives in an 18TB RAID-5 volume. I was able to format it with GPT, NTFS. I tested copying files, and I ran a chkdsk /r to test the free space. Everything looks good so far. I am going to be using it soon to fill with data.

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

When this product was released 2TB was the largest drive available. Customers have confirmed 3TB are compatible but we did not test anything above 2TB.

Although I am using two 1TB drives in RAID 1 mode, the manual says "2 x 2.5" SATA HDD, total capacity up to 6TB".

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.

It's not a drive, just an enclosure. As of today looks like maximum 2.5" drive size is 2 TB but the key is making sure the drive isn't more than 12.5mm tall as that's the biggest that will fit in this enclosure. Some 2.5" 2 TB drives are smaller than 12.5mm and some aren't.

I own a WD 2TB 2.5" drive. Very few enclosures can handle it - it is 15mm thick. I use mine with a Drobo Transporter, which easily handles 15mm drives.

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?

The documentation states 3TB max. I am running 3TB drives with Mac, USB 3 is slow.

The capacity limit is dictated by the SATA standard (SATA II or SATA III) of the drive rather than the enclosure. Therefore as long as your drive conforms to a known SATA standard between I and III it should work just fine.

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.
