What size of usb 3.0 HDD does this support?

I put a 5TB Seagate Backup Plus drive on this, and use ReadyShare Backup to automatically archive important files, and use Acronis 2015 to backup directly to the Seagate drive as well. It also supports lots of Port Redirection to share Printers, NAS etc., over the internet if you wish. Best router I've used so far.

Netgear does not list the maximum size usb hard drive supported in the manual. I would think you should be able to get anything up to 3 TB to work if the hard drive is from one of the major manufacturers of hard drives. WD, Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba. It will most likely depend on the firmware of the individual drives whether it works or not.

Do not buy this router if you intend to use the usb port for an attached HDD. It is completely unreliable and problematic. Netgear forums has many comments on this. Folders and files are corrupted at random.Cannot delete folders. Cannot move folders around. BEWARE

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

Hi Terry, There are multiple different WD 3tb SATA III drives, but this enclosure will work with any 3.5" SATA drive - that's the only thing that matters. I would note that this enclosure, being only USB 2.0, will not benefit from the speed over a SATA III drive verses a SATA II drive, so if you find a cheaper 3.5" drive, feel free to go with the cheaper option.

SATA III is backwards-compatible with SATA II and SATA I. So this enclosure should work, it will just run at SATA II speed instead of SATA III, which won't make a difference anyway because USB 3.0 is only 1 GBps and SATA II is 3.0 GBps...

Its an external hard drive enclosure, a bit hard to take apart, but ANY 3.5 or 2.5 SATA HDD will fit.

All I can say is that I have 8 3 TB drives in and it works fine. Not sure what the max drive size is.

Sorry, I don't know, I used it for my older laptop. My new laptop already has 3.0 usb. I had Windows 7 Ultimate on my old one. Check the website.

The Hard drive has dual functionality. It works for both usb 2.0 and 3.0. It just works more efficiently with 3.0.

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

Almost all 3.5" hard drives require more power(current >1.25A ) than what is defined by USB3.0 committee(standard=0.9A), no 3.5" hard drives please. Good to use with 2.5" hard drives or solid-state drives(SSD).

Mine has all four with the blue plastic that usually indicates usb3.0. A big boon that's not advertised is that there is a second drive bay, so you can add another hard drive or even a ssd. I have added an extra drive but it took quite a few minutes to recognize it. I haven't tried it but there seems to be empty ram bays as a well.

USB 3.0 and let me add I love this drive. Very durable, fast speeds, etc. I am on my second one, and customer service was very nice, but still.. Stinks to have a drive fail

Hi Adrian, Since this is eSata and USB 3.0 it shouldn't have any size limitations other than it has to be a 2.5 inch notebook hard drive. I currently have a 7mm tall SSD in one and it looks like there is still some space for 9mm HD. Don't think it has room for a 12mm HD. Hope this helps.

I personally have a 2TB installed, so i cannot speak for that. But i don't think it's an issue, since it's just a normal SATA to USB adapter, i don't think that there's going to be an issue with using a 3TB Drive or larger.

I have Seagate 3TB external HD USB 3 and it works with this ok it just takes awhile on reboot or start up for Windows 7 to pick it up.
