Does this NAS accommodate the thicker, 15mm (.6 inch) X 2.5" HDD, or does it only fit the thinner, 9mm (.4 inch) HDDs?

9.5mm is the thickest you'll be able to use. The highest capacity 9.5mm drives I found so far are Hitachi / HGST 1.5TB drives. Reportedly, there's a WD 2TB coming "soon".

Pretty sure it will only take the 9mm disks. Largest of those last I looked was 1TB, so RAID 5 with 4 disks will net you 3TB storage.

I used Samsung SpinPoint SATA 5400rpm 8 MB Cache 1 TB 2.5-Inch Hard Drive (M8 HN-M101MBB), works fine.

I'm using Western Digital WD10JPVT Scorpio Blue 1 TB drives, which are 9.5mm. Given how tightly these fit I am extremely skeptical that a 30% thicker drive would fit in the enclosure. According to this review: http://www.storagereview.com/synology_diskstation_ds411slim_review 12.5 mm drives will work, but it sounds like that is right at the limit.

Well I didn't try that but am sure its not support any hdd Thicer than 9.5 mm so not possible even to try any hdd more than 1 tb as it should be more Thicke than 9.5 mm

It says it will fit a 9.5 to 12.5 mm thick drive. I put a seagate that was 12.5mm in it and it was not quite big enough so didn't work for me. You need to take the drive out of its enclosure and measure it or see if you can get the info online.

Hello ADave, the one that I got was def. for a 3.5" drive. The drive that I installed into it came from a home "tower" style computer, Dell if I remember correctly. Have you tried to install a drive into it yet? The case for mine was actually quite a bit bigger than and drive, prob for heat dissipation, but def for a 3.5" drive. Mine works flawlessly and allowed me to recover the info I had in the computer that died. I now use it for a back up storage.

Not 100% sure but I can only get my 1TB inside the case so anything slightly larger would be no.

This NAS can hold the latest 4TB drives in each of its 4 bays. So the total space =16TB. Depending upon your NAS RAID configuration out of those 16 TB appropriate amount will be made available to you.

It will fit any drive up to 9mm thick. Some 2.5" drives are larger than that.

From what I have read it should. I have the Sony media running on it now. Sorry I haven't had the nas type on it yet.

I think you want: Lenovo 03X3703 TS440 3.5" HDD Cage I've been researching this and i think you would then need a " discrete RAID adapter for SATA/SAS" in order to manage the additional drive caddy.

The case only supports 9.5mm the drive inside will go to 1tb but sizes of the drive height is the only restriction. I would choose a case that would support at lease 15mm for new 2tb disk for further upgrades.

The NAS adapter will only recognize drives that are formatted as FAT. Most likely your drives are NTFS (for 2TB). But, if you had 4 USB sticks connected to a hub, you may be ok.

C'mon foks, there are different thickness 2.5" drives. If this has an 8.8mm height as reported in one of the responses, it will only fit laptops that take a 9mm drive. If you've got an ultrabook or something that takes a 7mm drive, you're out of luck.

I use it for WD My Passport 2-TB drive. I don't remember the model number offhand. But it's the thicker one. And it fits.

I've used this in a desktop, but the form factor is the same of the others 2.5", just slightly slimmer, it should fit in any 2.5" sata bay. You can find the exact dimensions on the vendor though

I've used it with a 840 EVO-Series 500GB SSD and a Crucial MX100 512GB SSD, both 7 mm thick. I did have a 2.5 inch Toshiba HDD in one, but I'm pretty sure that was about 9mm.

Anything 7,5mm and thinner...most 7.5mm or thinner should fit. 9.5 mm drives might just be to high?

it fits anywhere a hard drive can fit. its just made to run longer then a standard drive that is why they are used in NAS
