will I be able to plug my 2 TB external hard drive into this?

No doubt about it....with no problems....it actually seems to work better and faster when running through the external USB port (probably because of the external power source)

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

I gave you the dimensions of my 2TB portable HDD, which fits perfectly. Should fit yours as well.

This product did not have the correct pin size for my wd 1 tb but it is an older external hard drive and I am unsure if it would help you. I took this to an electronics repair shop and had the pin from the old one put on the new power supply and it has worked perfectly since.

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

I assume any standard drive would fit. I currently have a 1 TB WD Black in my case.

Generally, YUP. Specifically, If your external drive works plugged into the laptop usb 3 port, It will work plugged into the hub which is then plugged into your usb 3 port on your laptop. I have 7 - 3tb seagate externals plugged in via a plugable hub into a pci-usb3 2-port extension on an old dell laptop running win 7 home premium. The second slot on the pci has a Seagate 3 TB plugged in directly. I get no vairance in speeds or performance from either slot/device. The 4TB should work as well.

The portable HDD in my case is 3wx 4 1/4h x 3/4 d. The answer would be yes.

Sorry...don't know. I only have a Synology NAS, so no experience on the external USB HDs

I am not sure, but here is where you should be able to find out: http://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/

The caddy itself is pretty shallow and designed to fit normal sized hard drives. Normal being around 10mm. The 2 TB version of this drive is 15mm is significantly taller. I do not think just as is it will fit however depending on if you feel like modifying the caddy You could make it fit. GL

I had an external WD Passport 2TB drive that I thought I could pop out of its enclosure and put in here. That did not work because of the height (not sure what the exact height is, sorry). I believe it is two platters, which makes it bigger. I had to stick with just a Seagate 2.5" 500GB drive I had, and that seats fine.

Well I've never mounted this type of drive into and external enclosure but I'm fairly certain (about 85%) that you'll need more power than what a USB 2.0 can supply. Then again, I could be wrong.

No. Order the correct size HDD enclosure. I think it's a 2.5". Or, get one of the docking stations.

I can't really answer that as I have never considered it. I would like to say no, but then again, anything is possible. Sorry, that's the best I can give you. I will say that is is probably one of the best external HD enclosures I have every had. If it wasn't so expensive, I would buy another one.

Does the USB 2.0 port provide enough power for the external HDD? Or should I make sure to use an external HDD that has its own power source?
