While I have not verified this myself, the Specifications on the outside of the box shows "HDD Size Supports up to 2 TB"

Wondering the same thing. It says "any hard drive", but does it support advanced format drives (4096 byte sectors instead of 512 bytes). All drives >2TB use this format, and many 2TB drives do as well.

The one I received is not identical to the one in the picture. Mine says SDHC/SD Extreme - 6th generation. I have no idea if it would support 2TB because I only have tested it with up to 64GB, but so far i am quite happy with its performance.

Its only a 3.5 SATA hard drive connected to a USB 3.0 Its also backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Plug and play. But the manual does say either 2.5 or 3.5? I only used it for my desktop hard drive. I'm not sure how 2.5 would work.

The description does say the unit is "2TB". That is the TOTAL of the two drives, so they are 1TB each. You will have 2TB usable storage in RAID 0 mode (performance), or 1TB usable in RAID 1 mode (mirroring/backup).

I actually have the 1TB model. I am not sure, but I don't think that this feature is available in the 1 TB model.

Yes, I have the 2TB that comes installed, installed a 3TB drive and have a 4TB USB drive unpartitioned attached.

Other than the advertized 16 gigs of ram, I really don't know. The hard drive is 1 terabyte. I repartitioned the hard drive, however. because Asus partitions it the opposite of other manufacturers.

It probably mean it is in O&M; package. It is like 'normal' HDD, just little bit slower to increase reliability so if you care more on reliability than speed it is good choice. I use two of these it in my NAS, and so far they work like a charm...

The drive works well. USB 3.0 is faster only if the computer being used is too. The drive is slightly smaller than WD, Toshiba, etc. But it is not significantly smaller or faster than a like WD. I think WD comes in 2TB for about the same price.

Yes, I'm running the 8tb version and it has the full 8tb, but for some reason I think the device used the first drive closes to the power button first for storage in this setup, but yes it works!

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files.I hope this info helps. I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt.
