Can the EX495 with the stock WHS OS handle the new GPT partition for 4tb Internal harddrives?

It handles 2TB no issues and you can mount as 1 big drive. Suspect if you upgrade to whs2011 it can handle it. I have 2 whs and like them. Pimped them out with more ram and a faster CPU

Internal drive is the primary use so should be ok as long as you have the right connection which I believe for this drive is SATA.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

You should have no problem with this HD. You may wish to partition it though.

According to Lenovo's website it does support 4TB. Seagate NAS HDD 4TB ST4000VN000, WD Red 4TB WD40EFRX, Seagate Barracuda 4TB ST4000DM000, WD Caviar Green 4TB WD40EZRX are all supported. https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30797

It should work just fine. Totally backwards compatible. I partitioned mine, my wife and I share 3TB, 2.0 USB for both. Works great! Enjoy!

According to the description of the product, HDD capacity supports up to 3TB in GPT format. My hard drives do not exceed 3TB, so I don't really know whether it would work with a 4TB hard drive.

I have not yet started using my 4TB Backup Plus, so I don't know the capabilities. Sorry.

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

I don't see why it wouldn't be. BUT I would suggest a 2tb WD Black instead. Windows defaults to an MBR storage format which I KY supports up to 2.2tb. You can't even partition the other 800gb into another drive. You can change the format to GPT which would allow you to use all 3tb, but it's a pain in the butt and if this will be your only storage drive I would steer clear of doing that. Quick summary: A WD Black should work no problem, but I'd personally go with a 2tb version. Hope this helps!

William,Yes you can, the diskless EX4 through the 16 TB EX 4 cases/software are all the same and will accept the WD 4TB drives

No problem with that configuration as long as you have a motherboard that will natively recognize a 4tb drive.

Yes I purchased the 4TB version and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with it and it gives you a ton of space for all those game downloads/installs etc..

I went through a couple of these that never worked out of the box, so if you are going to try it, stick to the specs. I returned 2 of them and switched to the Buffalo LinkStation LS-WVL/E and it has been working great with two 3TB drives.

Yes. I am running my OS on this drive. I had to switch to legacy boot mode to get it to work.

This is not an internal or external hard drive. It is an external casing. So it does not matter what the OS is as long as you have USB support, the enclosure should work.
