I know it says supports up to 4TB but has anyone tried 6TB?

I used WD Black 4TB HDD, it works great for both USB 3.0 and eSATA, but need update Intel Rapid Storage Technology to using eSATA, I did not tried 6TB.

As to specifically handling a 3TB drive, I can not state, although the unit will handle a combined total of 16TB, I have a 2.5 TB drive in my unit and it works very well

It *can* function with larger drives. However, it's rated for 4tb units, as that was the largest capacity at the time this unit was released.

Not sure about 4TB. Works great with 3TB hard drives in a RAID 10 with my Mac Pro.

yes it does. It also supports 4TB drives. I currently have (2) 4TB drives. It may support (4) 4TB drives but I cannot verify as this is not my particular setup.

I had 2TB intalled on this enclosure. I think it will work with a bigger hard drive like 6TB.

I have not tried 5TB, I am using 4TB at the moment. I don't see why it wouldn't take 5TB drives. If you are using Windows, you should partition them in GPT format. Mac wouldn't have a problem either. Hope this answer your questions

I think you are referring to RocketRAID 2720C2, 6TB drives should have no problem too.

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

I currently have a 3TB Western Digital SATA drive installed.So yes it will support over 2TB. I cannot confirm about 4TB support however.

It handles 2TB no issues and you can mount as 1 big drive. Suspect if you upgrade to whs2011 it can handle it. I have 2 whs and like them. Pimped them out with more ram and a faster CPU

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=1802efeb494c71a15013ae8c81a53b31 The product forum does talk about users installing 4TB drives in their 5 bay version of this enclosure.

I have actually tried it with a 2TB HDD and it worked fine. Loaded up with no issues. It should definitely work with a 3TB HDD, 1TB shouldn't make a difference. You would definitely enjoy it, i sure am.

NO! It does NOT work with anything larger than 2TB. I purchased it specifically for use with 3TB and 4TB drives - and it does NOT work. I contacted customer service, and they affirmed that it only works with drives up to 2TB. I have to return it now. Very disappointed.

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.
