I'm guessing it would do okay as long as the initial USB port you plug into is USB 3.0. I have 6 usb 2.0 drives and 1 usb 3.0 external drives hooked to my hub. The 3.0 drive just flys, but so does the others.

10 4tb HDDs....that is some heavy editing. The iDsonix USB 3 has 10 powered ports and an 11th port for ONLY charging, but you can read that in the description. I like that you can turn off each "set of three ports" with their individual on/off switch. I connect three 1TB HDDs and the other seven are used for misc. things. Powered wireless mouse, 2 usb to micro usb (not powered). I can't say that 100% of the time all ports are in use. I love mine and I'd suggest you try it. If it doesn't handle your load Amazon with take it back.Good luck

The unit worked well until last night - I had various TB drives. It crashed and burned. I can't get it to recognize any of its USB ports. UP to that point it was a gem.

I have 2 (two) 8TB Seagate 3.5" hard drive in it and both works flawlessly, writing at the same time using a single eSATA interface. So with 4TB only 50% of my capacity per drive, it will support. In fact, I don't think it's the box's job to claim what it supports, it's just a marketing ploy and as you can see it's outdated. 6TB and 8TB drives are out now and they work.

it will work but you wont see the full performance of the drives. you'll get between 300 and 375mb/s on sata 2.

I too have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. No problems. Assuming that your drives are the same physical size as these, you should be OK.

It should. Since it is powered off the incoming USB port you have to be a little careful. Size of the disk has nothing to do with it. They do have different power requirements. If the disk is self powered, then there is no problem. If the disks are not self powered, while I suspect you will be OK, I would go with a powered hub.

I have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. It has been running non-stop since I bought it. The best investment I've made in computer hardware in long time. Segate and Western digital will both work in it. Not sure if differnt size drives will work though.

I used 4TB Drives from WDC and Seagate, they work fine. I don't know if 5TB drive would work or not.

The 8300HD depends on the software on the box. I have heard 8300HDs will support 1TB drives, but that was a while back so I don't know the true limit. It all comes down to what OS it uses.

yes it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.

this is a desktop harddrive, so, it wont, also... stay away from seagate go and buy a hitachi, i learned the wrong way

Sorry, I don't know what a 4 TB drive is. It works on drives that support SATA connections.

It should work just fine. The voltage on most Hard Drives is always 12vdc. The amperage is key as it looks like this power supply is rated to handle at least 3amps just fine. Looks like a good buy. Clem

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.

I used the one I purchased on a Dimension 8400 tower. It is still working perfectly. The tower currently has 2 HDD's and a DVD-RW.

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.

I know your frustration with this question because I bought this in this was wrong for my computer but from what I'm seeing as looking and comparing from other disk drives for your computer this looks as if it should work. don't take my word as a hundred percent though, but I also wish that they specify the port type as not just IDE because there are multiple versions. I hope this works for you, dual drives in my laptop gave my laptop of life again as an HTPC.
