This unit has drives already installed. You want the diskless version if you want to pick your own drives

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 have 2 - 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive. (The 2.5" drive isn't bolted in, just rests on top of the optical drive. You may be able to squeeze another but it is tight with the optical drive installed.

I currently have a 3TB drive in it and it's working fine. I cannot comment on 4TB.

ABSOLUTELY. I have been using a pair of 3TB, a pair of 4T and a pair of 1 TB seagates for some time with no problems. I do not use any of their special back-up software. (KIK, Ph.D.)

I have 5- 3.5" 3TB drives in mine. You could probably use the 5.25" bays to mount up to 2 additional 3.5" drives with some adapters.

Yes, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it. Having a drive fail on that setup would kill you and the interface that your presented with on this device really limits the usability of anything over 2tb

No problem with that configuration as long as you have a motherboard that will natively recognize a 4tb drive.

2 2TB drives. If you want to maximize storage space, choose a different raid configuration.

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.

You can start with one drive and add drives as needed. Of course if you don't use at least 2 drives you can't RAID them. The NAS will pick an appropriate RAID configuration automatically, but you can override it if you like. You can even mix disk sizes but that is not the best solution. You should use SATA 6 drives. As you add new drives the system recognizes them and reconfigures your system.

I'm not sure. That might be needed. I still haven't been able to get mine to work in either drive yet.

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can just attach both drives and use windows to copy the files.

Yes, you can mix different drives up to 4TB in size each for a total of 32TB.
