Will this enclosure support 2 6TB SATA drives - For a total capacity of 6 + 6 = 12TB ??

I don't know about that but I had 2 and 2 in one with no problems except the usb connection in the back is made of plastic and was VERY loose kept disconnecting. I don't even use them anymore and I have 4 of them.

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!

This is an enclosure will only hold a standard 3.5" Internal SATA hard drive. It does not include the hard drive.

If you take the 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim drive out of its enclosure (this is a well documented procedure) the SATA drive inside should certainly be compatible with this unit.

I'm not at the unit now (will look when I get home but I know I have 6 sata hard drives on and I had to use at least one, possibly 2 splitters so at most 5 possibly 4

The manufacturer claims 2TB drives work. Unofficial reports claim 3TB drives work if they don't draw too much power. The other thing is that some of the 6TB drives have unusual screw hole placements. You can make that work with a little DIY, but for the average computer user, power tools and computers do not go together well. I'd look for a more modern enclosure, personally. This one's a little long in the tooth and I did go through two of them in about four years.

While I have not verified this myself, the Specifications on the outside of the box shows "HDD Size Supports up to 2 TB"

It is but you won't be able to use the 6gb sata port because it will cover it up. This will only be a problem if you want to use an ssd for your system drive because ssd's should only be used on a 6gb 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.

Yes, you can use your SATA drive in the enclosure. Please note, if it is a high capacity drive it will require special formatting. You can find that information and instructions on how to do that on the Web.

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.

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

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

Yes it does I have 4 3tb drives in one and they work just fine, it will support up to 12tb

It has several sata connectors. Probably more than you will ever need unless your building a 12+ disk nas or something similar.

Currently I have 2 Sata and 1 SS drive in it, still room for more. One thing though pickup a few 90 deg connectors as the case doesn't close properly if you use the regular connections for your Sata drives.
