Even if it does, it wont last long. Don't by them, buy the pluggable brand ones. Far more reliable. I bought my last piece of Vantec crap. Two failures within a year of owning them

Yes it does work with 3Tb drives, but as Mr. Hastings hint at the duel drive does not work very well. I have 4 single drives and they work great but the one duel drive I have only works with one drive, if I put the second drive in windows 7 starts dropping both drives. Stick with the single and you will be better off.

No, unfortunately it will not work with a 4 TB hard drive. Generally, you can only use a 2 TB or smaller USB drive that hasn't been reformatted. Here are the limits as I know them: 1) Only FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32, and an old version of NTFS are supported. 2) Intel GUID Partition Table (GPT) and Linux ext3 formats are not supported. So it must be a WinXP-or-below PC-formatted drive, not Mac or Linux, and not a modern NTFS, which uses dynamic or GPT partitioning. 3) Because GPT volumes are not supported, 2TB is the max volume/partition size. 4) Maximum file sizes are as follows: FAT: 2 GB. FAT32: 4 GB. WinXP NTFS: Volume Size. So, you will have trouble storing some HD movie or TV shows if you are using a FAT-formatted volume. To create the old-style NTFS format, you will need a Win XP or 2000 computer. 5) You are limited to using the first 8 volumes/partitions on the drive. 6) The drive cannot be encrypted. 7) If the drive is powered off the USB port on the router, then it cannot draw more than 500mA.

I haven't tried it yet, but when I called the company they said that it would, but you have to use two drives with the same capacity.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

Yes. It works with both drive types. I have about 25 left over 2.5" drives and have used them many times.This Plugable device is really just a hub for connecting SATA hard drives. Plugable is a great company too. Since I first ordered from them about 6 months ago, they are where I get all my 'generic' device needs. Always better than 'Made in China' type quality that we're used to.

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

I have hooked it up to a esata enclosure with 4 drives and it worked with no problem.

Yes it does. I'm using WD Black 4TB drives in mine, and it has worked flawlessly since I set it up three months ago.

Not sure, I put a 3tb in mine, but I also have a 4tb external connected to it. I don't see why it wouldn't accept a 4tb drive internally.

I currently have a 3TB Western Digital SATA drive installed. So yes it will support over 2TB. I cannot confirm about 4TB support however.

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

I'm not sure either. I've only used mine for 1 drive. I doubt it would work for 2 at once. You would probably need 2 adapters and some software that could reconstruct the data, which is shared between the 2 raid 0 drives.

Yes, it works with 3.5 inch 4TB drives so should work fine with a Western Digital drive.

yes it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.

I haven't tried that with it, but the connections are the same, so I would assume that it would work. I have only used it for hard drives. but it works for both sizes. I think it would work
