If you go to NewEgg and type "ORICO 6518SUS3", the specs call for up to 4TB but I personally have never used that large of hard drive so far. I have had good luck with both of mine. Oddly, if you go the orico website "http://www.orico.com.cn/en/ProductInfo.aspx?typeid=50&id;=2299", they don't say anything regarding that. If manufactures don't give you specifics, then how are you able to make a decision. I see this all the time. I just don't get it.

That will depend on your OS and drive manufacturer. I'm using Win 7 and a Seagate drive so I had to partition my 3TB into 2 logical drives. Don't quite understand why but that's what Seagate said I had to do.

I have not tried it with a 4TB, only a 3TB, but it works fine with that. Orico's site says it is compatible with all SATA III Hard drives, so I suspect that it would work fine with a 4TB. I believe that Amazon would let you return it if it is not compatible. The OS may limit your partition(s) size, but that would be true even if installed internally in your system.

As to specifically handling a 3TB drive, I can not state, although the unit will handle a combined total of 16TB, I have a 2.5 TB drive in my unit and it works very well

Sorry, I have not tried the 4GB.This one I got is 3TB...I use for storage and has good access time at 25%. 4GB is rather small is your using modern files.

I would never consider a 4 TB boot drive because I do not believe it's a great idea to keep data on the boot drive, for many valid reasons. I would also never build a system with a traditional platter HD. I installed an SD in my laptop, saw what I'd been missing, and installed one in my primary desktop. Best upgrade I ever made.I use WD Caviar Black drives for all of my data, as secondary drives. One issue with 4 TB drives is that some devices for streaming will not recognize them at all (Such as the WD TV Live).

I have used it with a 4TB nas drive (ST4000VN000). So, I know it should go all the way up to 4 TB.

No, there's no way to do that. Is beacuse the File System FAT 32.. that FS desnt accept more than 4GB per file :/ i know it sucks :c

Looks like the size question got answered already, after using it for a few months it seems the C drive is really just supposed to be 100% for your operating system. The system will boot/restart in a matter of seconds. the 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive has plenty of capacity to store everything else.

I see 4 TB drives on the approved list: https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30797/related/1

I know it can handle 2 tb because that is what I have. I THINK it depends more on bios.

According to the specs of the system you listed, it appears so. Your system seems to support anything from 250GB to 2 TB (which is in range of 1TB). It looks like you're getting a heck of a deal for this hard drive as well! Well done :)

I currently have a 3TB drive in it and it's working fine. I cannot comment on 4TB.

Don't own this particular disk, but the support for large files is unrelated with the disk itself. It is a limitation of the file system used on it, so if you format the drive as FAT, then it will have an upper limit on file sizes of 4gb. There are other file systems which support bigger files, such as NTFS (or HFS+ in case you're using a Mac). But do notice that FAT is still the most widely supported format, so some devices might have issue reading from a NTFS disk.

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.

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

I have installed a 3TB drive and it has been working without any issues. I believe that the drive size would be more of a function of the operating system and Device Monitor settings. If you have a drive I would try it but if you want to be safe, I would use a 3TB. This is a link to the Mediasonic product forum http://forum.mediasonic.ca/search.php?sid=1802efeb494c71a15013ae8c81a53b31The product forum does talk about users installing 4TB drives in their 5 bay version of this enclosure.

From what I've read, make sure the firmware on the Drobo is up to date you should be fine with drives > 2TB.
