Can this device handle a 4TB external hard drive?

I'm not much of a tech person anymore...........most of it has gotten away from me. But, I don't see why you couldn't use it for that. You might get a better answer by going to the IOGear website and asking their support folks. I hope this helps, James

It is bad. Don't buy it. It is slow, unreliablle. You cannot access the device from two computers at the same time. It managed to freeze a Mac which I have never seen before. Save your time and money.

Yes it works great. Just remember if using it wireless, you're connecting to the drive wireless and could be slower.

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.

If your external drive will fit into a slot designed for a 2.5 SATA HDD then yes. I seriously doubt that you will be able to use an external drive with this device since it only has one USB port.

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

Yes, some 4T drives are supported. Hard disk compatibility can be searched for any of their units on their web site: http://www.synology.com/support/hd.php

Sorry, I don't know what a 4 TB drive is. It works on drives that support SATA connections.

Yes. I have 2 1TB Western digital black caviar hard drives on mine and it handles them just fine

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.

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.

If you mean usb drive then no. This device only supports micro SD for external memory.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

Do not know if 4tb drive works. Took a 3tb Western Digital USB drive and removed the drive from the case and put it into this system. Worked great and was cheapest way to get a large drive.

If it accepts 3tb drives (which is does) then I see no reason for it not to accept 4tb drives. The limit is at 2tb.
