How many 3.5 drives can this actually hold? the short desc says "Supports up to three 3.5"/ four 2.5" HDD/SSDs (converted from two 3.5" HDD bay)" but the long desc says it can hold 5 x 3.5 hdd?

The short description is right. It can hold three 3.5" drives. Possibly four if you take the space from the optical drive slot.

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

There are different ways to interpret your question - physical size of storage capacity. Of course it will handle any disk capacity but it will only hold 3-1/2 inch physical size drives.I think a handy solution to support 3-1/2" or 2-1/2" drives is the "Snap-In 25 adapter from Addonics.Have a look at Addonics Storage Bay Adapter AE25SN35SA or for information from the source's mouth: http://www.addonics.com/products/ae25sn35sa.php

Not enough room for 3.5 & another drive. You might be able to engineer 2 of 2.5" low profile drives.

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!

This case can hold up to 5 3.5" hard drives. If you wanted to put SSDs in it, you would have to buy some adapters since it doesn't come with any.

Lenovo documentation says 2-3.5" drives and up to 4TB is supported. I've got a 750GB and a 1TB and plan to upgrade the 750GB to a 2TB. You can also run it in a RAID configuration if you like.

The "Western Digital WD 4 TB 3.5-Inch Desktop Performance WDBSLA0040HNC" is a sata hard drive, and there are mounting positions for two 3.5 drive under the 5.25 drive bay. So you can mount two 3.5 drives without using up the 5.25 in bay.As an aside, with adapter it is possible to mount four 2.5 inch laptop drives or SDD drives in those same bays; or you can mix a 3.5 drive and two 2.5 drives - all without using up the 5.25 bay.

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.

No the AMS spec sheet states up to 10 TB which would indicate that it supports 2 TB Drives x 5. It also indicated that it has been tested with 160 GB to 2TB drives, but that it is also OS system dependent.

2 full 3.5" HDD, and a surpirsingly not listed 2.5" SSD support. The SSD support is not a full enclosure like those of the HDDs, but supports it quite well.There is pretty much no cable management at all, although there is space to shove cables behind the HDD cage. And I shoved some inside my spare 5.25 bay.Normal ATX power supply fits perfectly well.

There is space for two additional hard drives. I added one (1 TB SATA) hard drive to my system - it mounts directly below the master drive. There is space provided for a third drive, but it doesn't seem as accessible as the other two, so I won't comment on adding a third drive.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

It's not a drive, just an enclosure. As of today looks like maximum 2.5" drive size is 2 TB but the key is making sure the drive isn't more than 12.5mm tall as that's the biggest that will fit in this enclosure. Some 2.5" 2 TB drives are smaller than 12.5mm and some aren't.

Last i read it will suppourt 3 tb drives. Dont know if it will take 4 tb drives.

If it accepts 3tb drives (which is does) then I see no reason for it not to accept 4tb drives. The limit is at 2tb.

Has anyone actually successfully converted one of the 5.25 bays to 3.5 for a hard drive? I have 9 hard drives and want to see if this would actually fit them all. Thanks
