Will this enclosure support up to 1.5 TB drives?

Yes, as long as it is a 2.5 inch SATA (II, III) drive it will. I haven't tried the new 2 TB 2.5 inch drives though.

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

I am not sure, but I believe so. The 2.5" form factor is correct. I am less sure about this: the PATA (new version) interface of the enclosure is compatible with the ATA (older version) of the drive. For less than $5, I'd say go for it.

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

Yes, it will. I have a 1-TB and a 3-TB drive. I cloned the 1-TB drive onto the 3-TB drive with no problem.

Sorry for the late respond but according to the box it can support up to 1tb max I have a 500 gig in mine

Yeah, most likely. I've used a variety of drives since I've owned it, some listed as "supported" and others not. All have worked fine. The only thing I'd recommend doing is checking the Synology Raid Calc to make sure you get it set up with the specific RAID you want to maximize space: https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator

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

Nope. The HP you are referring to only has 1 2.5 inch bay, so unless you modded that case there no place for another drive. a 1TB drive would double your capacity though. So I'd check that out.

No the AMS spec sheet states up to 10 TB which would indicate that it supports 2 TB Drives x 5. It also indicated that it has been tested with 160 GB to 2TB drives, but that it is also OS system dependent.

If you mean so you can put a 2.5 inch drive in a 3,5 SATA external enclosure, I do not think so actually.

Assuming you mean "capacity" and not "physical size", I don't think so. I picked this up from the store, and returned it the next day after it failed to work with a 3TB WD Caviar Green drive, though it worked fine with a 1TB version of the same drive. I never did any additional research, so I don't know for sure, but it's probably limited to 2TB hdds, like most of the older external enclosures I've come across.

yes, IF it supports SATA port multiplying. I didn't see that listed on the spec sheet listed on amazon though (or anything for that matter, rather empty). All the enclosure is is two 1-> 4 multiplier boards in a fancy case.

I have not tried. I have tried upto 1tb. If your drive has external power supply i dont see why should there be a problem. However i think i read somewhere that it supports upto 1tb. Anyways i found this product super useful.

According to their website, it supports up to 6 TB, so you are good to go with 5 TB.

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0
