Does Windows 7 Ultimate 64 have a problem recognizing HD larger than 2TB? Does EX4 16TB work with Win7 Ult 64?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit but not Ultimate 64. The EX4 16TB works fine with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit without a glitch.

This unit works fine with Window 7 64bit. The unit is a network device and its operation is not dependent on a PC's operating system in anyway.

You shouldn't have any issues. NAS firmware will work independently from the OS. You will control the drives from the NAS UI.

This doesnt connect directly to your computer, you access it over the network through its own interface, or a mapped network drive. It shouldnt matter what OS you are using. We use everything from XP, Vista, 7, 8 & Macs to access this without any issues.

My unit has trouble working with any of our Windows machines here (Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, etc.) It will take about a minute to create a directory, about a minute to rename it, cannot do a findfirst, cannot display files in any requested order (date, size). I see that other reviewers had no problem with theirs, so my troubles are possibly with my unit. But none of us trust the drive, and no one is using it.

Yes, Under x64 16TB is seen depending on your configuration, partition type, For more info please See: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581408?wa=wsignin1.0

Windows 7 will using this as NAS so it will just recognize the partitions that are created within the unit, so you should not have any problems. You can setup the shares to what ever size you need. It is a great unit.

I don't remember any. It is all on the drive. All I had to do was plug it in and it was recognized. Win7 64. Probably get it off of Seagate's web site too.

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

It is my understanding that Win7 can boot from a 4T drive IF your system can use UEFI and you are using the 64-bit version. If you are not booting from the drive, it should work without UEFI. Check with your motherboard manufacturer to make sure.

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.

I do not have an answer to your problem, but with both seagate and WD drives I just attached the drive enclosure and the hard drives were recognized. I am using Win7 64

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a 3.0 PCI add-on card connected to the 7 Port USB hub. I have a Seagate 2TB, 3TB and 4TB 3.0 drives attached as well as 320GB and 500GB USB 2.0 drives and have no problems. Just remember any USB 2.0 drive is still limited to 2.0 speeds. Some of the drives are network shares and still I have had no problems. The 7 Port USB Hub works great for me.

I got this 3 TB drive. Personally it is no different from the 2 TB other then the obvious 1 TB extra. One thing to note since this drive is larger then 2 TB it will have to be formatted with GPT (GUID Partition Table) not MBR (Master Boot Record). You OS mush be able to support that, Windows 7 and up.

Wondering the same thing. It says "any hard drive", but does it support advanced format drives (4096 byte sectors instead of 512 bytes). All drives >2TB use this format, and many 2TB drives do as well.

The size of the drive is dependent on the operating system you are using 2TB max for XP, Win 7 9TB.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating systemin the event the drive fails.

The simple answer is yes. I'm running Windows 7 64bit Professional. Ultimate is about the same thing...you have a few more bells and whistles than I do; but they are essentially similar.

Yes, it does since it has no problem working with my 64 bits Window 7.Good luck.

I put a 3TB in it and it does not recognize the entire drive. I have 746.52GB unusable space on the Disk.

If you go to NewEgg and type "ORICO 6518SUS3", the specs call for up to 4TB but I personally have never used that large of hard drive so far. I have had good luck with both of mine. Oddly, if you go the orico website "http://www.orico.com.cn/en/ProductInfo.aspx?typeid=50&id;=2299", they don't say anything regarding that. If manufactures don't give you specifics, then how are you able to make a decision. I see this all the time. I just don't get it.
