Can I put a new hard drive inside the enclosure?4tb may not be enough and I want to replace it with a 6tb hard drive(or 8tb)and put the 4tb in desktop

This is a self-contained external hard-drive and includes the 4tb drive. I don't know if it would function with a larger drive but I'm pretty sure all warranty would be void if you crack the case open. I can't think of a reason why would you purchase this just to pull out a perfectly good hard drive. Why not buy two and chain them together or the larger LaCie that has more storage.

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.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

It's not a hard drive - just an enclosure. You would have to provide your own drive.

Its an external hard drive enclosure, a bit hard to take apart, but ANY 3.5 or 2.5 SATA HDD will fit.

Portable HDD will fit in; however desktop version is bigger one and won't be able to fit in.

You can not actually add additional hard drive, but you could replace the original with new one has more capacity.I would suggest to use external hard drive.

Yes, it certainly will fit and work. Just remember... space inside the enclosure is at a premium, so play it smart by plugging in the connections first, then lower the drive into the enclosure for application of screws. Enjoy.

Any new hard drive should work just fine. Look at pcpartpicker.com for a good resource to piece together compatible parts. Its an excellent site that allows you to choose your parts one by one, only showing other compatible parts.

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

well you need to unscrew the case to get to the drive so no way i can think of. you could eject it, unplug it, open it up, and put in a new one. would take you a few minuets to do but its possible.

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.

I will agree with the other two comments.. Just upgrade the drive to a larger size. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Good Luck!

I have my terabyte hard drive in this. Best enclosure, period. Just make sure to use the screws that it comes with to keep the hard drive in place. I learned that the hard way. The hard drive moved and it wouldn't connect-wasn't coming into contact with the port. After realising this and screwing it down, it runs great. No issues whatsoever.

Hi, I suggest buying a caddy to put your drives in, I assume SATA, and then you can transfer them without issue to the RAID. You can usually buy USB Caddy or enclosures for less than $20. Hope this helps.BR,Dave
