Has been working fine currently with 4 x WD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA, RAID, ESXI 5. The spec should be on HP support site http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/home/?cc=us〈=en&sp4ts.oi;d=5379860&ac.admitted;=1397833615906.876444892.492883150

I have installed both 2.5 & 3.5 inch FF drives without any problems. That actual disk partition size is dependent of the OS. The largest drive I nave installed is 2TB and that has been working fine. I have no experience with larger disk drives.

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!

I bought mine long before 2TB HDDs existed; I suspect this enclosure might not support a drive of that size. Sorry I can't assist.

Assuming 4TB drives a re supported (may require a firmware upgrade on the RAID controller) then 32TB is correct. If 4TB drives aren't supported by Highpoint (the RAID controller vendor) then the limit is 24TB (8x3TB drives.)

Their is no problem with mixing various size drives. I did that until I eventually updated to all 4th drives.

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

Currently running four 4T WD drives , Win 7, 64 bit machinr. No idea if they support boot, using all for storage with four other 2T and 4 other 1T drives. Most are Seagate.

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

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.

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

I started with one 2TB and have been running it for several months. Adding a second of another brand and size. It's flexible to do that. You can even put in 2.5's with a converter tray, or some people mix in SSD's as well. Pretty limitless. AND most use cases are hot swappable, meaning you can pull and add drives while running.

Hi RacerX, maximum supported HDD capacity that can be installed is 2TB. Thanks, PCrush

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 see this question a number of times here. There is a misunderstanding about disks 3TB or larger will only show 2.19TB. ONLY IF you are trying to make it a bootable device. If you are going to use it as a backup disks and if you just want to dump files there, it is not a problem. I would say it is Amazon's problem in that they were not clear. This is unfortunate, but I wonder if anyone chose a lower capacity disk due to the comment.

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.

I currently have a 3TB Western Digital SATA drive installed. So yes it will support over 2TB. I cannot confirm about 4TB support however.
