It states it works with 4 TB drives. As bigger drives come out, will it be compatible with those?

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

This WILL work with drives larger than 3TB. I have one of the new 8TB SeaGate drives in one and it works perfectly.

I have not tried yet, I am not sure about it. I have got in touch with the technicians at USpeed for their answer. I might buy a 4Tb myself if it works.

I have 3 TB drives in a raid 5 configuration. No issues yet. We use it primarily for time machine backups.

I bought it for a Seagate 2tb and it works fine, I assume the tb size would not make a difference and that it will work with yours

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?

Often that just means it has never been tested and certified by the manufacturer. I have two of these enclosures, but have never used either with a 4 TB drive. I did, however, install an HGST 4 TB drive in a Sabrent enclosure that also says it only works with drives up to 2 TB. I'd Google and see if anyone has had success with 4 TBs in this Rosewill.

It did not work with my 4TB external hard drive. Wondering if it worked for you ?

It depends on your O/S. I used mine with Ubuntu and 4x4TB and it worked fine.

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

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.

it will work with high end D-Link routers... not older versions. For 3TB you will need to make sure you have the newest firmware. You need to download it from their site before it will recognize higher than 2TB disk drives.

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.

The one I received didn't work at all. I returned it for a Drobo. I use 2TB drives in the Drobo so I don't know about 4 in that.
