Does this work with a 4TB sata hard drive? (I see the description says up to "(3TB+)" ... not sure what the '+' means)

Yes. Old description. And supports usb SCSI mode which is rare for these. Even through a hub if the hub supports it. I like the anchor hubs.

It worked 3TB drive only after firmware update [ didn't even work with usb 3.0 without update] and following instruction from this link. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/i-have-a-3-tb-drive-windows-7-ultimate-wont-format/b1cc3811-f25f-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5. hope it helps.

......call Plugable and ask......every indication exists that they are 100% customer satisfaction committed before or after the purchase.

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'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

As per the website, 2x3 tb can be use. So your 4tb don't look to be compatible.

I don't know. I use it with the 32-bit version of Windows 7 to attach a second SATA hard drive, which is used for data only.

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.

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.

Not sure about 4TB. Works great with 3TB hard drives in a RAID 10 with my Mac Pro.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

Not sure why there would be a size limitation. I am using 1.5 to 3Tb SATA drives with no problems

The product description says "Designed for all 3.5? SATA I, SATA II and SATA III hard disk drives" which I read as any capacity SATA drive should be supported, aside from a newer version of SATA interface that may not be backward compatible. However it would have been useful if the manufacturer provided that detail without guesswork.

If you have a Seagate Backup Plus it will work. I use this adapter with a Seagate 3TB Backup Plus and it has worked perfectly for almost a year. Any other Seagate model I do not know because some have different size power supply connectors.

Do not know the answer to this; I used it only on the Seagate drive specified in the product description above.

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

I'm using it for 1 TB drive, so I think it should work as well for 4 TB drive.

It has worked with all my SATA drives from 100GB to 750GB. You'll have to use an adapter for pin conversion.

1- supports sata 3 up to 6Gbps. Backward compatible to sata 2 (3Gbps) and sata1 (1.5Gbps) specification. 2- No! This is an all in one unit. I'm using 2 64GB SSD drivers and set it up in a raid . It speed up your computer 100x better. It almost instantly the changes to the next window. I like this setup and it is in a nice package.
