Is this compatible with 4Gb hard drives?

According to the Vantec web site, www.vantecusa.com, the NexStar 3 will support drives up to 4TB. The drives are hot swappable. I am only using 2TB drives, so I can not confirm any capacity limits.

Yes, according to the Product Specifications listed in its Amazon ad:HDD Compatible: All 2.5" / 3.5", 9.5mm / 12.5mm SATA-I, SATA-II, SATA-III / SSD up to Max. 4TB

The size of the drive makes no difference. As long as it has a SATA or even an old IDE connector it should work. You may not achieve peak performance specs with such setup but at least you can read/write the data off the drive.

Not sure about 4TB. Works great with 3TB hard drives in a RAID 10 with my Mac Pro.

Sorry, I have not tried the 4GB.This one I got is 3TB...I use for storage and has good access time at 25%. 4GB is rather small is your using modern files.

My drive is a 1 TB drive, I purchased this housing because it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Sorry I don't know about a 4TB drive.

Yes, That is what i am currently using it for. One thing to keep in mind is you still need a mounting kit as with any compatible hard drive.

as long as you leave it formatted in NTFS,(which is the format that mine came in with) there really isn't a size limit. If you re-format to FAT32,then it's 4gig.

Mine has 4gb but I don't know if it is SATA or ATA. I'm fairly certain 4gb is the max. I'm good with software...not so much with hardware.

I have a 3tb drive in mine and it works fine I don't see any reason why it won't work with a 4 Tb drive

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

I am using it with a 3.0Gb drive with a NTFS file system. Works like a charm

I am no expert so I took out the hard drive and looked at the specs and ordered a brand with same specs such as sata drive what the amount of memory i wanted and need there are sites you can go on and put in a search to find a compatible one with the specs you find on your hard drive , hoe this hels yes I am a woman and ever did this before but It worked fine. Good Luck

This been formated in FAT32, so 4gb is a maximum to transfer for 1 file. But you can still change its type to NTFS then everything will be OK.

This is backward compatible to sata 2 (3gbs). It's not listed as sata 1 (1.5gbs) compatible and even if it was your performance benefit would be drastically limited by sata 1. Your probably better off with a traditional hard drive.
