Does this MB support 6TB hard drive?

Oh yeah. They're built to hold several 6TB hard drive internally and externally.

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

That should not be a problem where the hardware is concerned. However, keep in mind your partitioning scheme. You will want to do a GPT partition table (as opposed to MSDOS partition table) with any partitions over 2TB. How you go about that will depend on the OS that you are using.

They did not mean 12TB per bay, they meant 12TB total. Their claim of the unit's capacity was based on the hard drives available at the time.When this unit was released, the largest available hard drive was 3TB, so they claimed that the unit's capacity was 12TB (4 x 3). It can handle 4TB drives for sure. I suspect that Vantec's claim that it can handle 8TB (and likely 6TB) drives is true.

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

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.

Yes, some 4T drives are supported. Hard disk compatibility can be searched for any of their units on their web site: http://www.synology.com/support/hd.php

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

yes it does. It also supports 4TB drives. I currently have (2) 4TB drives. It may support (4) 4TB drives but I cannot verify as this is not my particular setup.

Absolutely. I installed a 2TB drive in mine 6 months ago. Works like a charm.

While I have not verified this myself, the Specifications on the outside of the box shows "HDD Size Supports up to 2 TB"

I really do not know, but I would think that it is more a question of wheather your COMPUTER will support such a drive. 3TB is a huge drive, but on the other hand, I remember wondering if I could ever fill a 40MB drive. Please remember to back it up regularly. I'll be able to hear you from here if it crashes and you haven't backed it up!

Well I didn't try that but am sure its not support any hdd Thicer than 9.5 mm so not possible even to try any hdd more than 1 tb as it should be more Thicke than 9.5 mm

Wondering the same thing. It says "any hard drive", but does it support advanced format drives (4096 byte sectors instead of 512 bytes). All drives >2TB use this format, and many 2TB drives do as well.

if you're talking about the SATA speed ports, I have mine plugged into a SATA 6GB port and not a problem

I didn't see anything in the documentation or technical specs that it directly supports the "USB Attached SCSI Protocol" (which is supported in Win8, but I don't think Win7). Keep in mind that the USB host controller also needs to support UASP. It should be able to natively support a 6TB drive. (Assuming the "Should" box was checked off on the engineering build sheet.) It's probably more a question of "Does your OS support 6TB in the way that you want to use it?"

I have a 1 TB hard drive mine. If you meant 4TB then IDK. If you did mean 4 GB that drive so old that it would have IDE connecters on it and not SATA so no it wouldn't work.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array.UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

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