I started off by adding 10 of the Seagate 6 TB drives and it worked perfectly. over the holidays though I added the final 26 TB drives, it took seven days for it to re-stripe the information it is still working like a champ with 12 6TB drives.

I didn't do 12 drives, but I did install nine 6tb WD drives and the NAS works great.

I have 10 seagate 6tb drives in my 2413+ and they work great (st6000NM024).

6TB Drives are supported. I am currently running it on my DS2413+ NAS.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS2413+

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

I added five drives and I had no problem. I did make sure that the drives I added were the same size as the existing drives in the NAS

I have the same Synology 1813+ DiskStation, set up in a RAID 6 (with data protection) configuration, and I have temporarily filled only 5 of the 8 drive bays, as I do not need the entire 8-bay (4TB each) amount of the storage, and in addition, I don't want to use these drives yet to extend their useful lifetime. Additional drives can be added one-by-one as needed. So yes, what you are asking will work fine. And this unit is a GREAT feature-packed NAS! I've had it for 8 months now, and love it.

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.

Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

I have used it with a 4TB nas drive (ST4000VN000). So, I know it should go all the way up to 4 TB.

I have two of the 2TB drives and also 4 of the 1TB drives, and can only say that all 6 have worked fine for me. Performance wise, the 2TBs seem identical to the 1TBs, although my 1TBs are shock-proof, while the 2TBs are not. I store a lot of video on the Buffaloes and back up my other files, too. So far, I see no reason why I would not buy another one.

I think you are referring to RocketRAID 2720C2, 6TB drives should have no problem too.

I have installed a 3TB drive and it has been working without any issues. I believe that the drive size would be more of a function of the operating system and Device Monitor settings. If you have a drive I would try it but if you want to be safe, I would use a 3TB. This is a link to the Mediasonic product forum http://forum.mediasonic.ca/search.php?sid=1802efeb494c71a15013ae8c81a53b31 The product forum does talk about users installing 4TB drives in their 5 bay version of this enclosure.

As per the website, 2x3 tb can be use. So your 4tb don't look to be compatible.

It did not work for me as well after first try, although I did not try hard. I decided, it is simply do not worth to spend time trying to make it work. I bought a new 2TB new SATA-6 drive for $85 and decided do not use internal RAID at all. I have RAID on external NAS with all data and cloned internal drive with all programs.

My USB3 hard drive works perfectly. I don't see any reason why all 7 drives would not work perfectly.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array.UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

No you don't have to but if you start with 3 that should be good so in your case 3 tb per hard drive you will get 6 tb only out of 3 hard drives but worth it

Bought mine in Aug 2014, loaded 8 WD Red 4TB drives into without issue, I can't image there being a problem with the 6 TB drives.

Check the compatability at synolgy.com, there are plenty of 6TB drives on the list. https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS713+
