Greetings, Great question. Currently, 1TB and 2TB drives are available in the 2.5" form factor with a height dimension of 9.5mm. The height dimension is important for physical compatibility with this configuration. Best regards, MITXPC

Hard drives are usually 3.5 inches in width. Almost all conform to a industry standard SFF-8301 3.5

As per the website, 2x3 tb can be use. So your 4tb don't look to be compatible.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: To format a drive larger than 2TB it must be initialized with GPT (vs MBR). You can have a 4TB NTFS partition on a hard drive when initialized as GPT.

Hi RacerX, maximum supported HDD capacity that can be installed is 2TB. Thanks, PCrush

Not sure why there would be a size limitation. I am using 1.5 to 3Tb SATA drives with no problems

I'm having a problem with a 3TB drive... shows up as 2.2TB and 800GB. Refer to http://www.pcworld.com/article/235088/everything_you_need_to_know_about_3TB_hard_drives.html

You can use any 3 1/2" Sata Hard Drive for this system Just need to know where to look Try e-bay or craigslist

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

By comparing the size with one 2.5" portable harddisk. i beleive it is 2.5" HD inside the box. Because i did not open the box, i do not know if you can change to a large HD. but i think some software are already in HD. so if you try to do so, must find a way to get this software and installed in it.

Up to 4 hard drives of 2 TB each. Total of 8 TB. This is the capacity assured by the manufacturer.But many users stated that the unit will handle 3TB drives too.

I have installed both 2.5 & 3.5 inch FF drives without any problems. That actual disk partition size is dependent of the OS. The largest drive I nave installed is 2TB and that has been working fine. I have no experience with larger disk drives.

The unit will hold 3 drives, either 3.5" or 2.5", with 3.5" drives at 4Tb then the max storage capacity would be 12Tb.

Absolutely. I installed a 2TB drive in mine 6 months ago. Works like a charm.

I use the 32 and 64 GB USB 3.0 drives and I store files on it much larger than 4 GB.

I really do not know, but I would think that it is more a question of wheather your COMPUTER will support such a drive. 3TB is a huge drive, but on the other hand, I remember wondering if I could ever fill a 40MB drive. Please remember to back it up regularly. I'll be able to hear you from here if it crashes and you haven't backed it up!

When this product was released 2TB was the largest drive available. Customers have confirmed 3TB are compatible but we did not test anything above 2TB.
