My external Seagate Backup PLus 4TB Desktop Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STCA4000100) works perfectly with KDLINKS, my hard drives are automatically formatted to NTFS.

Yes. I installed a 4tb hard drive without having to format it. It already had around 2.5 tbs of data. The unit recognized the entire drive and can scan it without issue. You also can access the drive from your network.

William,Yes you can, the diskless EX4 through the 16 TB EX 4 cases/software are all the same and will accept the WD 4TB drives

No problem with that configuration as long as you have a motherboard that will natively recognize a 4tb drive.

The old hard drives will work on the new ones all you have to do is take them apart and they work fine it's what I did till I ordered my 500 it's easy to just data transfer all your stuff to new drive then license transfer it

"Support current model 3TB hard drives"This is according to the manufacturer's website: http://www.cavalrystorage.com/en-cahdd-u3c.aspx

You sure can. I have mine working with one WD red 3tb hard drive. Will upgrade to another one same capacity once I get this one full.

Absolutely. I installed a 2TB drive in mine 6 months ago. Works like a charm.

I would recommend you to search for the answer to this question on Pivos forums http://www.pivosforums.com/viewforum.php?f=3. I think that the device doesn't support hard drives over 3 TB, but I'm not 100% sure.

You can but, I don't know if you'll see improved I/O. I'm not sure what the SATA interface is to the drive. If it's an older generation you may not see improved throughput. Chances are you will see improved I/O. Just not sure how much.

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.

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

None...you install the hard drives you want, If you go to their website you can find out a lot of answers. www.bufflaotech.com

You can configure the drive to be either 4 TB or 8 TB. The device itself only contains two 4TB drives.

I have not tried yet, I am not sure about it. I have got in touch with the technicians at USpeed for their answer. I might buy a 4Tb myself if it works.

Yes it can take 4TB hard drives if you update the firmware. You can update the firmware without having any drives in it. It can take all sata drives and even SSDs. Use western digital red for storage (5400 RPM) or black for speed (7200 RPM).

Yes, the Seagate hard drive works with either 2.0 or 3.0 . . . the transfer rate is faster with 3.0
