Has anyone tried using a 3TB hard drive with this ?

I had a 1TB, but after about a year and a half of on and off occaisonal use, the BlacX caught on fire. Some kind of short in the on/off button. Thermaltake voids the warranty for all of their products if they are bought on Amazon or eBay. DO NOT BUY. I now have an e-sata / usb Startech dual docking station, and the Startech e-sata dual station is THE WAY TO GO. The quality is just so much better than the Thermaltake. I'm considering my legal options against Thermaltake.

I haven't tried it but the only limitation I found is with USB 3.0 it won't see the drive.

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.

It doesn't work very well with anything. The 3 Tb drive that I got was bad out of the box. Support was marginally helpful but when the drive still had not shipped 10 days after the RMA was issued, I gave up and returned it.

Yes, I purchased the 3 TB one a short while back and have been using it with Time Machine for months with no issues.

I havent delt with a 3tb drive as yet, but I would imagine it depends on the motherboard, its bios settings and the operating system. To be honest I wouldnt trust the Sabrent, I had a fairly new hard drive in it and eventually it started making odd noises. I checked the drive with a different connection and it was fine, something had went south on the Sabrent pc board. Ive been using a Rosewill encloser and its been running fine for a couple years.

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

I use an internal 1 TB HDD. Never try a 3 TB HDD. It is not a "1080P HD", and I have a fatal problem with it.

According to the instructions it will only support up to 3TB, but there have been reports of people using 4TB drives... So, you could try it, but to be on the safe side ask the manufacture.

Yes I have used it with a 3TB Hard drive and works fine but had to format the hard drive to be FAT32 but this seemed to be more of a problem with the particular hard drive I was using rather than the media player.

I installed 2 "Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA4000100" and it seems to be working fine. I found it cheaper to pull them from the housings.

I installed an internal 3tb drive with no problems, all 3 tb useable. Firmware Version 1.0.1.52 will support 4tb external, but I'm not sure about internal. I would think it would.

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

Not sure why there would be a size limitation. I am using 1.5 to 3Tb SATA drives with no problems

Yes, I'm running the 8tb version and it has the full 8tb, but for some reason I think the device used the first drive closes to the power button first for storage in this setup, but yes it works!

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