Has anyone tried a 3TB drive in this enclosure, through a 64-bit operating system?

I havent delt with a 3tb drive as yet, but I would imagine it depends on the motherboard, its bios settings and the operating system. To be honest I wouldnt trust the Sabrent, I had a fairly new hard drive in it and eventually it started making odd noises. I checked the drive with a different connection and it was fine, something had went south on the Sabrent pc board. Ive been using a Rosewill encloser and its been running fine for a couple years.

This does not work with the Toshiba 3TB series. 64-bit is irrelevant when it comes to the external enclosure.

i have this enclosure and it will only see 2TB, i tried a WD 4TB drive and all it saw was 1.8TB

This is not an internal or external hard drive. It is an external casing. So it does not matter what the OS is as long as you have USB support, the enclosure should work.

It will only accept a 2TB I have tried the 3TB and it format it but won't read it after that.

No I have not tried to use this with a 3.5 disk drive . Do not even have one any more.

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

The documentation states 3TB max. I am running 3TB drives with Mac, USB 3 is slow.

If it accepts 3tb drives (which is does) then I see no reason for it not to accept 4tb drives. The limit is at 2tb.

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

I haven't tried it but the only limitation I found is with USB 3.0 it won't see the drive.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

Do not know if 4tb drive works. Took a 3tb Western Digital USB drive and removed the drive from the case and put it into this system. Worked great and was cheapest way to get a large drive.

To the best of my knowledge: No!. You'd have to verify with the company, however. I've only used drives up to 2TB (mostly due to OS compatibility).

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

No. I tried hooking up a 3 TB drive and you have to format it NTSF which doesn't go up to 3 TB.Tech support said you can format the drive with two partitions. But that didn't work for me.

Yep. No problem. I did, I actually did a SATA Raid with 2 HDD's plus a DVD drive

there are some 4tb hdd that are verified to work, others - hit and miss... check the actual kdlinks website

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.
