how many drives will it hold?

It holds two hard drives at a time. It can be used with 3.5" desktop hard drives or 2.5 laptop hard drives.

It does not "hold" drives. You can use this to connect a bare drive to your computer via USB. One at a time. It supports both SATA, via the slots on top, and IDE via an included connecting wire. Both desktop hard drives ( 3.5") and laptop hard drives (2.5") are supported.

It could be more than one, using the different interface. Note I did not attempt to do that, so don't know if it will work.

I would guess with about 99.998% certainty....no. You will need to back up those drives. I'd say preferrably, you will buy all new drives for this or any NAS enclosure you're setting up. HTH.

2 external hard drives of "3.1 x 4.7 x 0.6 inches" will fit in it, no problem.

It looks like a total of three spaces are in the case for hard drives. You can always add external USB drives too, which are more transportable than the internal drives.

I've used it for 9 DVD-Roms\Blueray drives just fine. You will have slowdown if they're all running at once, but I never had them drop like with other hubs.

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

You can keep your drives as is. There is no hardware RAID so it will read four drives independently.

There are 4 quick removal and you can use the top 5.25 bay with an adaptor to give you 5 total. I'm running 2TB drives for my NAS, so I can't speak to bigger drives. I would suggest low power drives if you run 5 drives for thermal reasons.

Currently I have 2 Sata and 1 SS drive in it, still room for more. One thing though pickup a few 90 deg connectors as the case doesn't close properly if you use the regular connections for your Sata drives.

Hi, it can hold four 3.5" HDDs or 4 2.5"HDDs converted to fit the 3.5" bays. And if you do not plan using the CDROM bay, you can use that area to place an extra 3.5 HDD. This case has plenty of space, I love it.

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.

I am assuming you mean "Solid State Drives". As far as hard drives go there are I think 4 3.5" bays and 1 2.5" spot on the bottom of the case.

Up to 4 hard drives of 2 TB each. Total of 8 TB. This is the capacity assured by the manufacturer.But many users stated that the unit will handle 3TB drives too.

You can mount six hard drives, whether ssd or 3.5" inside in the two cages. You can also mount two ssd or 3.5" drives in the two external racks, you can finally mount the last hd which can be a 2.5" or ssd behind the motherboard tray for a total of 9 hard drives. Everything is included.

Based on the Synology RAID calculator you should have 12TB of usable space and 6TB of parity (http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator)Adding 3 x 3TB drives would give you 18TB of usable space and 6TB of parity
