does it support 4TB droves

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.

Michael, I am not sure, but I beleive it might. The vendor website should be able to anser that question. I am currently using 2TB dirves. The thing that caught me was I tried to use the 2TB drives with the T5C plugged into my XP computer and that did not work. The operating system of the conputer driving the T5C must be capable of supporting the drive size. When I changed to a Windows 7 computer driving the T5C, all was good.

Yes, It does.The Venus T5C uses the Jmicron 393 chipset as a HW RAID controller. I have used 5x4tb drives in one application with that controller and it works just fine. Just make sure that you sync your disks and unmount properly before disconnecting. You may have data loss if you don't, and in this case the controller will not hold the data till next startup.

I have 5 WDC GREEN 3TB drives in mine and it works fine in Raid5 on Windows7 64

The 8300HD depends on the software on the box. I have heard 8300HDs will support 1TB drives, but that was a while back so I don't know the true limit. It all comes down to what OS it uses.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards.Hope this helps

Wondering the same thing. It says "any hard drive", but does it support advanced format drives (4096 byte sectors instead of 512 bytes). All drives >2TB use this format, and many 2TB drives do as well.

Supports Sata 3.0, Size of drive supported depends on what your Motherboard supports. I have used a 3TB without any issues. Reminder: This Drive bay cannot be used with Tool-less cases & requires you to use 4 screws to mount into case. Also does not work well with certain VelociRaptor drives such as the WD1000DHTZ.

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.

Yes-- but you may require a firmware update.When I got mine, it would not see my 4TB drive. I eventually found the firmware update on their site:http://plugable.com/2013/03/05/usb3-sata-u3-firmware-updateAfter updating it, 4TB drives work fine.

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

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking, Samuel! The "+" indicates that it should work with drives beyond 3TB in size. We have had great results in our testing labs as well as very positive customer feedback regarding using the dock with 4TB drives.

It can support any size hard drive you want. The only thing is the amount of bays to fit a drive. There is 2 bays within the computer.

It depends on your O/S. I used mine with Ubuntu and 4x4TB and it worked fine.

If it specifies the capacity (eg, 2TB, 4TB) then yes. It can definitely handle up to two 2TB drives, unsure about the newer larger drives. Otherwise is should say "diskless".

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.
1575673
Yes it does I have 4 3tb drives in one and they work just fine, it will support up to 12tb
2266445
yes it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.

It will do two 2-terabyte drives. Make sure you update to the latest drivers though or it won't.

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.
