What is the maximum size drive that this dock supports?

Max supported size? Dimensionally, it fits every modern 3.5 inch drive I've tried. Gig/Terabyte wise, it doesn't care, the Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors pass through. If your drive will work without this dock, it should work with the dock.It's sort of like asking how fast a car can your garage handle. The garage doesn't care about speed, just if it will fit through the door.

Supports Sata 3.0, Size of drive supported depends on what your Motherboard supports. I have used a 3TB without any issues. Reminder: This Drive bay cannot be used with Tool-less cases & requires you to use 4 screws to mount into case. Also does not work well with certain VelociRaptor drives such as the WD1000DHTZ.

not sure what you mean by docking station, if you are just looking for additional storage look at http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-GoFlex-External-STAM3000100/dp/B004E3XP42/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355890846&sr=1-4&keywords=goflex or http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STBU1000100/dp/B00829THO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355890709&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+amazon A

Really, any of the current internal offerings by Seagate that are heavily discounted both on here and new egg would be more than suitable. I would suggest a model with at least 7,200 rpm disc speed for a smoother transfer experience. This docking station is amazing for the record. It's been my fave gadget buy of the year so far. Hope this helps, Robert

Yes, works great I put my operating system on it no issues. This drive is small and out of the way don't have to waste a bay up front. If you can afford would go for the 120 gb

It supports all of the following: 3.5" Drive Bays (HDDs, DVD/CD Drives): 13 (2 from X-dock with key locks, 5 HDDs in the Middle cage, 6 HDDs in the bottom cage). 5.25" Drive Bays (some DVD/CD Drives): 3. 2.5" Drive Bays (SSDs): 11 (converted from 3.5" cages).

I have returned this unit due to a block-out and honestly I can be 100% sure I do believe 32 GB is the maximum capacity you can have.

I have used this as a dock for an SSD and it works very well. The drive is stable in the cradle and this dock offers very fast speeds (~430MB/sec with a late 2013 iMac I7 with internal SSD)

Netgear does not list the maximum size usb hard drive supported in the manual. I would think you should be able to get anything up to 3 TB to work if the hard drive is from one of the major manufacturers of hard drives. WD, Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba. It will most likely depend on the firmware of the individual drives whether it works or not.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking, Samuel! The "+" indicates that it should work with drives beyond 3TB in size. We have had great results in our testing labs as well as very positive customer feedback regarding using the dock with 4TB drives.

I believe that only an eSata drive can be added to expand storage, in a RAID 0 configuration. What the limit is on that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but I'd assume at least 1TB. I haven't found any size limit for USB drives either, but since you can only copy to/from or backup/restore using USB drives that makes a huge drive of limited value anyway. I suspect the only way we'll know is to remove the internal drive, attach it to a PC, and see what filesystem the Mediashare uses. Sorry, wish I had a more helpful answer.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

The size of the drive is dependent on the operating system you are using 2TB max for XP, Win 7 9TB.

The official "Moboplay" booklet which comes with the device does not indicate the maximum hard drive which can be connected, for I have only only connected my 64 gig usb pen drive and had no problem. The booklet just indicates that "It can drive external USB storage devices such as USB HDD or USB pen drive, support FAT/NTFS file system." thanksChris

The default is 3.5" drives. I have used an IcyDock to support 2.5" SSD drives as well.

Sorry - I wish I could help, but I have no idea. If there is something specific you know I could look for, I can let you know if it is dockable.
