If I decide to use a higher capacity HDD/ Hard Drive (3TB) - will the EP-350 recognize it ok? Thanks!

I have been running mine with a Western Digital WD30EFRX NAS 3tb just fine for a few months now. Runs quick and hasn't presented any strange playback issues or lag, it has actually decreased load times but probably due to NAS spec. Though, weird behavior with file transfer, when I copied over the old 1tb drive in my Micca to the new 3tb, it somehow ballooned my files by about 200gb. Hidden files show nothing and quite a few folders read different in size between the two drives. Not sure if files are being decompressed on the copy over or something, no ZIPs just ghost data that has taken decent bite out of the drive, I don't think there is a 200gb reserve or system partition on a 3tb...

The manual doesn't say. I used a 1TB drive and it worked fine. You can add 2 external drives, but no mention of size limit there. You can map it as a network drive, so you can move content back and forth that way, but slower ofc.

Yes, I'm running the 8tb version and it has the full 8tb, but for some reason I think the device used the first drive closes to the power button first for storage in this setup, but yes it works!

You could possibly use this 3.5 inch drive if you purchase the new nyko databank which allows you to use 3.5 inch HDDs but dont use anything higher than 4TB.

Yes. The 3.5 handles all desktop hard drives. The 2.5 handles all lap top hard drives. The only thing to make sure of on this model is that your hard drive is a SATA or a ATA connection.

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 are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

I have several Seagate 4 TB drives plugged into my StarTech Hard Drive Enclosures, so 3 TB should be no problem.

Yes, it definitely matters. CIB sent me a list of comapatible SATA HDDs. They are ALL 7200 RPM. I bought the Western Digital WD10EADS, 1 teraByte drive. This will hold about 1 month of video from four 700TVL cameras at 60IPS. You may have to format the hard drive before installation. The electronic store where you buy the HDD can help you with that. Seagate, Maxtor and Hitachi also make 7200 RPM compatible HDD. Don't be shy about contacting CIB Customer Service at 408-736-3070. They have been most helpful to me on other things, like setting up internet access.

Maybe. If you are tech savvy, then it may work. The hard drive was used for a Dell Inspiron E1505. ` had to jump thru a lot of hoops. Apparently the Inspiron thought the 350 GB drive was only 40 GB drive. A techy hardware friend helped me install it. It was a real pain in the butt ! It may be better to just buy a new computer. A lot of them come with 1 TB now. Good luck

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

Hi. I don´t know yet since I have not been able to use it because I found out that the equipment I bought did not have HDD. I hope that next week I will have ready to be used. However, I bought this brand because a freiend of us has one and has a decent performance for its price.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Our U3 dock should support a 4TB SATA drive. If you have an older dock you might need a firmware update: http://plugable.com/2013/03/05/usb3-sata-u3-firmware-update

I installed an internal 3tb drive with no problems, all 3 tb useable. Firmware Version 1.0.1.52 will support 4tb external, but I'm not sure about internal. I would think it would.

I am so sorry that I am unable to answer your question, however, perhaps the information I provide will prove helpful. I have used this product with a 3 TB Seagate drive, model ST3000DM001 using the eSATA port, with no difficulty. I have not used the USB 3 port. However, I do not know of any reason that a computer with USB 3 ports will not recognize the full capacity of a 4 TB drive through the USB 3 port. Also, I like this product and will buy it again when I have need.

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 use an internal 1 TB HDD. Never try a 3 TB HDD. It is not a "1080P HD", and I have a fatal problem with it.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.
