How large an msata drive can it take. Can it handle a 500 GB ??

That would depend on which OS you went with. I have windows 7 ultimate, and I have a 500 gb samsung evo ssd, no issues.

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues

When formatted properly there was plenty of space. Around 30 I think. But drive died after 2 months.

Oooh yes. It recognises up to 64 gig. Great in case you commerce in data. Ask anything you like about it and I'll tell you.

This DEVICE is 500GB, size is right in the description of the item. Not sure what you're asking about 1TB??? Mine works with WIN7 Dell laptop and a 1.7GH HP desktop PC.

I believe that only an eSata drive can be added to expand storage, in a RAID 0 configuration. What the limit is on that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but I'd assume at least 1TB. I haven't found any size limit for USB drives either, but since you can only copy to/from or backup/restore using USB drives that makes a huge drive of limited value anyway. I suspect the only way we'll know is to remove the internal drive, attach it to a PC, and see what filesystem the Mediashare uses. Sorry, wish I had a more helpful answer.

I Don't believe there is a drive size (as in number of Gigs) limitation . That pretty much relates to most all external drive enclodures. I DO reccomend (as with this model) that it have at least one fan for cooling. Currently I hace a 2TB drive in this particular model ,and have had No issues to date.Hope that helps (someone anyway) LOL HappyPuting. ;-)

I'm running it with a 4 TB drive right now. Works great. I'm running Linux. It all just worked "out of the box" without needing drivers, Disk Manager, patches, or anything like that. You just have to remember to format your drive with "gpt" partition table, because the default ("msdos") partition table maxed out at 2 TB and will no longer work.

I've heard yes. However, it takes 32 gig - not much room to actually run any other programs or store files once all is said and done. I didn't get a chance to find out because mine died about 2 weeks ago. Working off a laptop until I decide what to do. Not sure I'm blaming ASUS for that one as I go through machines very fast, lucky if I get 2 years out of anything...

The drive can only be formatted in FAT32, so the size of the file determines if it can be stored on the drive. If you are looking at files over 4Gb, it wont work.

is that the most information you can give me. do you really think i want to look up your machine. and find out what type drvie it has in it. with that said this is a 1.8 micro sata drive. not to be confused with msata. I had to buy a device to go from micro sata to 2.5 sata which is the standard.

I used an mSATA Bullet Proof 4 Solid State Drive 128gb purchased also on Amazon. I run my OS and programs from it while using the conventional drive for storage. Both operate concurrently.

Yes. But I don't recommend this drive. I got 250 GB of files on it that cannot be read anymore!

I haven't tried anything that large. I do have a couple of them, but I have only used a 32g thumb drive.

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

According to the box the max is 1TB drive. I have 500gb drives in the 2 I got the drives are a tight fit

I am using it for a 350gb. I wouldn't think the capacity of the drive would be an issue, but then I'm not IT.Hope this is of some help.
