Actually I learned this the hard way after I bought a 3T Ext Hard Drive and copied all of my 200+ movies over to it. NO, it did NOT work on the TV. The reason isn't the Media Conversion Box,, it is because the "TV's" can't handle over 2T of memory, and when it tries to read your 3T Ext HD thru the Media Conv Box,, it just stops reading it and gives a message on the TV saying it can't read it. After much research I found out it wasn't the Ext HD or the Media Box,, but it was the limited Memory on the TVs.... 2T Ext HD is the MAX the TVs will read.

Yes, it will. I have a 1-TB and a 3-TB drive. I cloned the 1-TB drive onto the 3-TB drive with no problem.

I personally have a 2TB installed, so i cannot speak for that. But i don't think it's an issue, since it's just a normal SATA to USB adapter, i don't think that there's going to be an issue with using a 3TB Drive or larger.

That will depend on your OS and drive manufacturer. I'm using Win 7 and a Seagate drive so I had to partition my 3TB into 2 logical drives. Don't quite understand why but that's what Seagate said I had to do.

I am using it with a 3.0Gb drive with a NTFS file system. Works like a charm

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

I hope so. It works with 4TB Hitachi drives and older 1TB drives when in a USB-3 external drive case.

Yes, I have one built with 4x6TB WD RED drives in an 18TB RAID-5 volume. I was able to format it with GPT, NTFS. I tested copying files, and I ran a chkdsk /r to test the free space. Everything looks good so far. I am going to be using it soon to fill with data.

I have installed a 3TB drive and it has been working without any issues. I believe that the drive size would be more of a function of the operating system and Device Monitor settings. If you have a drive I would try it but if you want to be safe, I would use a 3TB. This is a link to the Mediasonic product forum http://forum.mediasonic.ca/search.php?sid=1802efeb494c71a15013ae8c81a53b31 The product forum does talk about users installing 4TB drives in their 5 bay version of this enclosure.

It does not work with my 3TB Seagate. This same drive I used on my nbox and it worked fine.

It will work with file manager program of the device. The third party software may not write the data to the drive but can read it.

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.

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

NO! It does NOT work with anything larger than 2TB. I purchased it specifically for use with 3TB and 4TB drives - and it does NOT work. I contacted customer service, and they affirmed that it only works with drives up to 2TB. I have to return it now. Very disappointed.

I have several Seagate 4 TB drives plugged into my StarTech Hard Drive Enclosures, so 3 TB should be no problem.

Yes. But not all external drives will work. I tried plugging in a 3TB drive and it did not get recognized. 1 TB one I tried worked fine.

Yes it will. Copying from a smaller drive to a larger always works. It's the other way around that it will not. To clone a larger to a smaller drive you would need to use software like Paragon which will allow you to not copy certain files.
