Spec says any capacity drive. What is the largest capacity this drive can take? Have not seen any other dock that states this.

I'm not sure of the largest size drive. I have a 2TB drive in it. I'm only using USB 2.0 and it's very, very ssssslow. I would not buy it unless you have USB 3.0 capability.

Hey Matt I have used up to 16 gb so far with no problems. I bet you could use any size, as operationally its not different software so good luck! Hope it helps!

I have returned this unit due to a block-out and honestly I can be 100% sure I do believe 32 GB is the maximum capacity you can have.

the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of my space, oh, and of course ignore the fact that i just deleted 12TB of data the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of... » Read More the drive limit is 2TB per drive. which considering theyre still making this item you would think they would put out a firmware update if nothing else. im hoping that if they make a new generation f this product that they not only put all the usb ports on one side, but also make them... oh gee i dunno.... a usb port speed that was invented in the current decade, and support for drives larger than 2TB would be a nice addition as well.their support team told me to get my 4 3TB drives to work on it that i shoudl format them and make just a 2TB partition and just ignore the rest of my space, oh, and of course ignore the fact that i just deleted 12TB of data « Show Less

Kinda prefer hard drive docking stations actually. Especially ones straight up and down. Easier on the motor. One I'm using is Vantec e-sata in white. Think it only goes to 3TB so when I go to 4 TB I gotta look for a new one. I mostly prefer it because I can stick a 3-4 inch mini fan behind it if it gets too warm. And cases don't do much for heat dissipation even the ones that are supposed to. Only one that did they don't make anymore :(

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! No, our dock only takes SATA hard drives. Your drive is not compatible as it uses a different connection, commonly referred to as IDE/PATA.

3GB is the maximum capacity that I've been able to bring mine upto. Excellent for Debian/Redhat/Ubuntu Linux distribution.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Our U3 dock should support a 4TB SATA drive. If you have an older dock you might need a firmware update: http://plugable.com/2013/03/05/usb3-sata-u3-firmware-update

I just now went to the manufacturers web site and downloaded the user manual for this device. And in the manual it states that it supports drives up to 4TB depending on the operating system you are using. Go to this link and you can download the manual to see for yourself.

not sure what you mean by docking station, if you are just looking for additional storage look at http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-GoFlex-External-STAM3000100/dp/B004E3XP42/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355890846&sr=1-4&keywords=goflex or http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STBU1000100/dp/B00829THO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355890709&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+amazon A

You can add a 64GB microSDXC card in the microSD slot on the tab. There is a SDXC slot in the Dock that will take 128GB. That's what I have installed and it works fine. The USB port in the Dock will power an external hard drive. I plugged in an external, AC powered, 3TB drive and it worked fine.See Wikipedia for SD specs. The TF700T is SDXC capable. Today, the largest microSD card is 64GB and the largest SD card is 128GB.

I'm not sure because after purchasing the dock I sent it to our IT specialist and he told me that the drive itself was damaged and the new dock wouldn't have worked anyway. Thanks, and good luck - Gary D.

The max capacity it supports is 4GB microSDHC. Format it as FAT32 filesystem if it didn't come that way.

Hi. I don't know, since I mounted a main disk 240 Gb Corsair Force SSD and let a 750 Gb WD Caviar Black for storage I did not looked again in WD offers. This is crap and if it is discontinued much better for all the people who will not waist money for nothing. I let is for storage but disconeccted. I only connet it and save something there from time to time. Regards

All 2.5" or 3.5" SATA Interface HDD or SSD can be fitted into this Aleratic Duplicating Dock. Target Disk must be of same or larger capacity than the source Disk.

I thought description said 160 gig, but it shows 298 gig capacity when I open up system. I'm assuming it has a 300 gig drive. Excellent system so far..

I would avoid buying this brand. The drivers are out of date; it's old technology. I own about 8 "Plugable" docking stations. The answer is yes to your question. You can format the drive in Disk Management in Control Panel.
