can you connect a 1TB hard drive to it?

If it has a USB connection there should be no issue. I have a 500 GB connected and have no issues. I ordered my HP split in June and have been happy with it so far.

Use the USB and a USB external hard drive. WD has one with 2TB I picked up during Black Friday sales.

Yep. My Seagate Desktop 4TB HDD had no problem connecting, so you should have no trouble.

Like the person answering before me: If your external harddrive is a standard one, most likely with a little work.yes..But Its designed to connect most standard hard drives to a computer. So strictly speaking, you can't connect an external harddrive. But most external harddrives consist of a normal hard drive in a housing. Once you remove that housing you can connect this harddrive to this item. This of course voids your warranty on that external harddrive and you should know what you are doing as you can break the hard drive if you open these enclosures improperly. Also, make sure your enclosure has a standard harddrive in it (with a standard ata or sataConnector).

You are supposed to be able to do that, but I have had many problems with this unit. Even just one hard drive plugged into this didn't work properly. It would eject the external hard drive all the time. It work fine in the beginning, then suddenly stopped working.

No, it has been some time, this device did not do what I wanted it to do. Be able to connect a solid state drive as a a external hard drive.

This system I purchased has a 1TB Hard Drive. I don't know of any system that would have just a 1 gig HD. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. I have couple of 1tb from Seagate, couple of 2 tb from both Seagate and western digital and a 5 tb from segate. All worked fine with existing data no issues except the 5tb as I had to change the file allocation type to be recognized.

You should be able to use a USB 2.0 cable to connect your hard drive to your computer. USB 3.0 is compatible with 2.0. You'll just get 2.0 speeds.

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.

Hey Melissa I know you can connect hard drives and flash drives but I'm not sure if it'll take a 3TB. It wouldn't hurt to take it to your nearest best buy or electronics center and ask to try it on theirs. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

@Jarek - you can use the 1TB portable LaCie external HDD without an adapter.

Absolutely. I mounted him inside a standard HD bay using some screws and little rubber feet. Connects in 10 seconds using standard SATA data connection and standard power. You may want to get some adapter rails to mount it inside your HD bay.

Do a google search for that. I doubt you can mount a second hard drive in there, but I'm not sure.

Anything under 1tb won't be one of the thick drives.... Some 1tb drives are also slim, but as a rule of thumb I've found all sub-1tb drives to be the normal/slim thickness.

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum:http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0
