My work requires more storage. How many internal Hard Drives it could hold?

It looks like a total of three spaces are in the case for hard drives. You can always add external USB drives too, which are more transportable than the internal drives.

Agree with everyone else, a total of 3, including the 1TB it comes with. In addition, I purchased from Amazon a 4TB External, mainly for storage but connected to one of the PC's USB 3.0 ports, it's equally as fast as the Internal. My work involves 3D design assemblies plus I take high-resolution digital photos with an extensive music collection and haven't scratched the surface of 5TB.

It appears that it will take up to 3 hard drives, as in the shopping options you can specify this many. (Source: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/cto.do)

You can not actually add additional hard drive, but you could replace the original with new one has more capacity.I would suggest to use external hard drive.

Based on the Synology RAID calculator you should have 12TB of usable space and 6TB of parity (http://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator) Adding 3 x 3TB drives would give you 18TB of usable space and 6TB of parity

You sure can, I have four drives in actually. Good case to use for any basic build. Just be careful with large RAM, I did have to get creative with my new corsair 8gb because it was interfering with one Hard drive

From Macally tech support, "...there is no limit on the size of the hard drive you put inside. My product development team says whatever is commercially available on the market should work fine."

from what i've read, it can handle up to 15tb....i'm running 5 (3TB) wd reds for 15tb.....might have to research that.

Yes, no problem. I personally use a standard SATA drive through, I need the capacity. Works like a charm...

Not sure, I put a 3tb in mine, but I also have a 4tb external connected to it. I don't see why it wouldn't accept a 4tb drive internally.

absolutely...there is a cage that is designed to hold two hard drives. very simple to remove the cage(one screw) and install a second hard drive.

I have 4TB hard drives in my unit in all eight bays. Running Windows 7 Pro and utilizing Windows software RAID.

It looks like there are slots for SATA 1.0 and SATA 2.0 with one being used by the currently installed hard drive. So there is an available slot to plug one in but I seriously doubt another internal hard drive would physically fit in the case. I would just add an external drive. I have two hooked up to mine :).

There are four internal 3.5" drive bays. There is, additionally, a 5.25" external drive bay that isn't used that some people use to hook up additional disks with an adapter. 4TB disks work in this system, if your operating system supports them. I've been particularly happy with WD Red disks in this chassis.

3 i think although one may not have cables necessary to use it. I'm usjng 2 internal drives and half a dozen externals

why not upgrade the internal drive to a larger size - the unit is basically a box that contains a hard drive

You can fill as few as 2 slots (using one drive as a redundant drive) and leave the rest open for later use. I initially loaded 6 slots with drives and allowed the NAS to test all 6 drives. I them removed 2 drives and keep them as backups. I now have 4 3TB drives installed and running just fine configured as one volume.

You can install as many hard drives as you have available sata ports and power plugs. If you run out of bays, you can just velcro em to the interior of the case. I have an SSD drive for my OS and 3 2 terabyte storage drives. You can use the smaller bays for your SSD

You will have to refer to the manual that came with it, a list of hard drives are listed. Steve
