how many tb does it support? or max drive size in each slot?

This is a question that changes with time. As of the date I write this, the Mobius has been tested to 6TB/bay, and I am successfully using a 6TB drive myself. They say they are preparing to test 8TB drives, but until tested they won't say for sure that it will support it. Interestingly, the SATA standard actually supports 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows for disks up to 144 PETAbytes (144,000 TB!) in size. So, as long as each manufacturer holds to that standard, you should effectively be able to put ANY size drive in the enclosure far into the future. However, only 6TB/bay has been tested as of the date I write this.

im currently using one with 750gb. So far so good. as long as its 2.5in SATA HDD should be fine.

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 see 4 TB drives on the approved list: https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30797/related/1

According to their website, it supports up to 6 TB, so you are good to go with 5 TB.

You may have poor performance with that many disks simply because of the processing power required for an array that large. But there is no reason that this wouldn't work. If you're looking for a 16+ drive solution I would suggest something like the 2413+

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!

Hi, Max supported RAM is 16GB. We have no data on the HDD aspect. Thanks, PCrush

I don't know the maximum. I'm just using it for JBOD and not RAID. I needed more SATA ports.

I assume you're referring to RAM, and the maximum capacity for this machine is 32 GB. I believe it has 4 slots each capable of holding an 8 GB card. If you're referring to HDD, that, too can be upgraded to whatever you see fit. I believe it can also support a secondary (or primary) SSD.

3GB is the maximum capacity that I've been able to bring mine upto. Excellent for Debian/Redhat/Ubuntu Linux distribution.

The manual says yes, support up to 2tb. Here I have 2x 512 hdd raid 1 and works fine.

Yes it supports sata3 drives. And it seems to deliver ridiculously fast speeds.

Do you have more than four slots to put them in? I haven't seen a MB with 6 slots yet.

I personally have a 2TB installed, so i cannot speak for that. But i don't think it's an issue, since it's just a normal SATA to USB adapter, i don't think that there's going to be an issue with using a 3TB Drive or larger.

It handles 2TB no issues and you can mount as 1 big drive. Suspect if you upgrade to whs2011 it can handle it. I have 2 whs and like them. Pimped them out with more ram and a faster CPU
