i'll be trying a WD 4TB drive later this evening, i called Sabrent tech support and they were useless ! all he could do is read what was on their web page.

I Don't believe there is a drive size (as in number of Gigs) limitation . That pretty much relates to most all external drive enclodures. I DO reccomend (as with this model) that it have at least one fan for cooling. Currently I hace a 2TB drive in this particular model ,and have had No issues to date.Hope that helps (someone anyway) LOL HappyPuting. ;-)

apparently it depends on the drive, i have 2 new WD 4TB green drives and it will only see 1.8TB on either. i also tried anew WD 1TB Blue 7200rpm drive and it won't see it at all but it will see a WD 1TB green 5400 rpm drive.

I just put a 3TB Seagate drive in one of these and it worked. One of my laptops had a weird issue, but other machines did not. TDMSERVICE.EXE consumed massive amounts of RAM (3+GB) a few times before it acted normal. A different laptop of the same make/model did not have the same problem. That first laptop has issues adding hardware anyways, so I don't think it's a combination of the enclosure and drive.

According to Sabrent website, for this model, the max is 2TB. If you wish holding more room, get the USB 3.0 model instead.

I have been using this with an HSGT 4 TB drive for over a year with no issues. 4 TB is the max that has been tested and certified by Sabrent.

I will agree with the other two comments.. Just upgrade the drive to a larger size. Storage is pretty cheap these days. Good Luck!

Any size you care to put in it. And by size, we mean capacity. I think I had an old 8 Gb lying around. That's probably plenty.

Any drive should work. Just check the depth. The biggest issue is going to routing the cables if the drive is too deep. Also if you use the drive you sacrifice one hdd. That is assuming full atx is install (that is how I have it)

This is a full size internal drive intended for use inside a standard 5.25" drive slot. If you wish to use it externally, you will need a drive enclosure. Search under "5.25" drive enclosure"to find the appropriate type.

It fits...but barely. I would recommend buying a slightly bigger case for this drive.

I haven't tried anything that large. I do have a couple of them, but I have only used a 32g thumb drive.

Checked Dell. The computer is discontinued. I takes a 2.5 inch SATA drive. I guess it depends on the health of your gear if it's worth it.

Any standard drive will work, the case comes with a face plate for the drive that makes it flush with the front.

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.

Capacity is not an issue, but drive height is.This is a very nice case. I like the small foldaway USB cable.But max drive thickness is limited to less than 10 mm.

Define official, Microsoft does not make Hard drives this big. Bought mine almost 6 months ago now and it's still going strong.

I just have a 2 TB drive in it at the moment. If it says that 4 TB is the limit, you probably should respect that. I have found that docking bases tend to top out at 4 TB as well, so maybe that's the current limit.

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

Anything 7,5mm and thinner...most 7.5mm or thinner should fit. 9.5 mm drives might just be to high?

Honestly, I'm not familiar with that type of drive. If I'm reading your description right, your drive is an 80gb SATA drive. The case is made to work with eithera SATA or IDE drive. As long as it is a 3.5 inch drive and matches that, you're good. If it's a 2.5 inch drive, you'll need a different case.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon
