One line says this handles up to 3TB, but another says 4TB. What size hard drive does this actually handle?

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.

The 4TB version is 2 x 2TB hard drives. the 8TB version is 2 x 4TB hard drives.

Actually, disregard my previous response. I had this drive, but it was a 2TB model, not 3TB. There's a limit of 2.19TB for older Windows version (including Win 7) unless you have hardware that supports GPT partitioning, which I honestly don't know much about at this time. I'd recommend going with a 2TB version to be on the safe side.

All I can say is that I have 8 3 TB drives in and it works fine. Not sure what the max drive size is.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

I believe the drive I installed in it was 1TB. Actually, as long as it's a 2.5 inch drive, the capacity, I believe, is irrelevant.

I see this question a number of times here. There is a misunderstanding about disks 3TB or larger will only show 2.19TB. ONLY IF you are trying to make it a bootable device. If you are going to use it as a backup disks and if you just want to dump files there, it is not a problem. I would say it is Amazon's problem in that they were not clear. This is unfortunate, but I wonder if anyone chose a lower capacity disk due to the comment.

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

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.

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.

Your English is great! It is a 500GB I have a 1TB external I use with it too. Never came close to filling up the built in hard drive. Hope that helps.

I just have a 2 TB drive in it at the moment. If it says that 4 TB is the limit, you probably should respect that. I have found that docking bases tend to top out at 4 TB as well, so maybe that's the current limit.

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.

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.

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

I haven't yet tried a 4TB drive, but I have used a 3TB drive with NTFS formatting with no problems.

Iam sorry, I do not have the slightest idea what hard drive it uses. Best bet is to call customer service
