I understand it says it takes a 2TB external HDD and a 2.0 or less USB. BUT, I have a Seagate 4TB USB 3.0 HDD, by any chance will this work?

Sorry but hate to disappoint, but I have not had ANY success with this product.

I have not tied that specific drive but used Western Digital 500 gb, Acomdata 120 gb and some USB thumb drives. Everything worked fine. I think as long as the hard drive can be connected via USB 2.0 it should work.

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 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.

I have actually tried it with a 2TB HDD and it worked fine. Loaded up with no issues. It should definitely work with a 3TB HDD, 1TB shouldn't make a difference. You would definitely enjoy it, i sure am.

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.

Unfortunately no. I bought a new computer that has a USB 3 port and I even tried to reformat the drive and it only gets to about 100MB then shuts the reformat down. So in the end NEVER EVER buy SEAGATE!

Netgear does not list the maximum size usb hard drive supported in the manual. I would think you should be able to get anything up to 3 TB to work if the hard drive is from one of the major manufacturers of hard drives. WD, Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba. It will most likely depend on the firmware of the individual drives whether it works or not.

This is meant to make it work like and external drive, it does work. Make sure you call Seagate to be sure you have what I have, and it works with yours: call (1.800.732.4283) this is a US number.

yes, but check at the seagate website. beware, it is a 5400 rpm drive, not 7200, does defeat the purpose of usb 3.0 somewhat.

Absolutely. Like most products, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can also upgrade the Seagate to Firewire 8.0 or Thunderbolt with available connectors.

I bought it for a Seagate 2tb and it works fine, I assume the tb size would not make a difference and that it will work with yours

These devices work only with seagate go flex hard drives. I tried it with a standard sata drive it does not work. Very lame! Not sure what type of drive you are referring to with 3/4TB size. Standard or go flex type. I didn't see go flex type so I'm guessing you are referring to standard - if so - they won't work.

I have not tried yet, I am not sure about it. I have got in touch with the technicians at USpeed for their answer. I might buy a 4Tb myself if it works.

I've plugged it into USB2.0 port to save a drive on an older box, and it works fine. Somewhat slower than USB3.0, as you would expect.

It does not work with my 3TB Seagate. This same drive I used on my nbox and it worked fine.

depending on how old the hard drive is cause there are different makes n models such as digital or analog outputs, more faster speeds use sata, or usb 2.0 or 30 aka sata speed upto 6gb per seconds or minutes. it should work with it but if u could give me alil discription on the back cause usb makes different models also. if it has usb 3.0 then yes it will work with it!
