What is the largest SATA drive this card will recognize?

I don't know the maximum. I'm just using it for JBOD and not RAID. I needed more SATA ports.

Hi, I dont think there is a size limitation, you just need to verify if the speed of sata drive and this card match.

The size of the drive is dependent on the operating system you are using 2TB max for XP, Win 7 9TB.

I have 4 1tb drives attached to this controller. I don't know if it has a size limitation.

I finally upgraded my motherboard with one that has six 600mb/sec ports, so I don't use this card anymore. When I did, it had two 1TB drives attached. I think the limitation is more about your MB controllers and operating system rather this card, though. It did the job for a year until I could upgrade.

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

Order 1 from amazon, make sure it is SATA. 1TB or less, I am using a 250GB laptop hard drive. GL Mike

You do know this is a SAS hard drive and not an SATA one. Well the truth is I had brought this one by mistake and had sent it back. So I really cannot give you an answer. Sorry.

Any SATA HD, I had a few laying around and used a 250GB, just screwed it down and plugged it in, it was ready to go. The DVR has formatting configuration pre-installed to set up your HD.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

I put a 3TB in it and it does not recognize the entire drive. I have 746.52GB unusable space on the Disk.

Pretty much any 2.5" SATA 9.5mm height drive will work, including this one. The Blue / Green drives may be better suited to the task but the cost difference is not that great between these and the Red. Let your wallet be your guide.

That should work just find. Remember that it is the OS that will or will not recognize the size of the drive(s), not the hardware in most cases. But motherboard BIOS might be questioned and looked into just to double check

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

This is a standard USB to standard SATA adapter, so the size of the drive shouldn't matter. This should work just fine for you.

If it is a SATA, you should be able to connect it to the larger drive and test it.

Any internal SATA drive will work fine. DVD or BLU-RAY. If you are using multiple drives, it's best to get the same brand and model for best results.

Go to Crucial website and download "Crucial Scan" and it will tell you what memory and drives are compatible with your system.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards.Hope this helps
