Can this handle a HDD?

Yes, but in my experience, it drops down to USB 2.0 speeds if you don't use an external power source. (Haven't tried it with a power source)

I run two 1TB Western Digital Passport hard drives through it, and it seems to handle it just fine.

I have successfully run two bus powered HDDs off this hub, BUT it has consistently interrupted the connection on the first drive when the second is connected prompting the computer to complain that a drive was "improperly ejected". But it immediately reconnects and has not caused any data corruption yet. Just make sure you aren't actively using a drive when adding another. Or use drives with external power. Just keep in mind you're pushing the limits of this device (4.5 Watts total). If you need more, a hub with a power supply is another option.

Yes, given that the hd you're talking about is a rather generic 2.5" laptop hd with an ATA connection and a capacity of &lt; 500GB. It'll do the job just fine.

I'm pretty sure that you can. In fact I believe any internal HD with a SATA interface will work. I am using a SanDisk SSD 480GB drive in mine as a startup drive for my iMac.

The Power rails on mine can't support more than one drive at a time (thing broke within two weeks or so). I wouldn't rely on it for heavy server storage loads.

Well I didn't try that but am sure its not support any hdd Thicer than 9.5 mm so not possible even to try any hdd more than 1 tb as it should be more Thicke than 9.5 mm

If it specifies the capacity (eg, 2TB, 4TB) then yes. It can definitely handle up to two 2TB drives, unsure about the newer larger drives. Otherwise is should say "diskless".

Yes, as long as it is a 2.5" drive. I have a Seagate 1Tb HSSD drive in mind.

Yes, You absolutely can... I recommend buying a 250 gb hard drive. They cheap and it will help you a lot...

Absolutely. I mounted him inside a standard HD bay using some screws and little rubber feet. Connects in 10 seconds using standard SATA data connection and standard power. You may want to get some adapter rails to mount it inside your HD bay.

Sure is - any 2.5" Sata HDD will do the trick. I do recommend upgrading to the WD Black rather than Bare. They're built better and have faster read/write speeds.

well, yes but with some qualifications. First you need a compatible 2.5 inch drive enclosure, if you have an esata port on your motherboard, that would be the best option. If not, USB 3.0 would be next best. Be aware that this is a very high performance hard drive, and either of these options may not allow it to perform to its potential. There are also both thunderbolt and firewire connectivity options, but they are not as common.

The unit might not be able to handle that capacity of a drive you might want to check the manual

The size of the drive makes no difference. As long as it has a SATA or even an old IDE connector it should work. You may not achieve peak performance specs with such setup but at least you can read/write the data off the drive.

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

I don't know. This is beyond my expertise. I am using from an pad to my computer or my monitor. Haven't tried a hard drive. Seems as though you need an external power supply for the HD. It then might work.

I don't believe so. It basically lets you connect a functional HD to a USB port on a PC.

certainly. But i´m not shure wy i newer tray that. I use this hdd into a video recorder. Enjoy
