Will this work with a 6tb drive?
1803109
We have the seller here indicating that this enclosure will work with a 6Tb drive, whereas there is another question raising an inability to run a 4Tb drive - which is answered by a comment that a 2Tb drive was successfully housed. We need to have the seller or manufacturer settle these questions. IS THERE an upper limit to drive capacity; or are there any limits to drive type or SATA permutations?

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

Yes. But not all external drives will work. I tried plugging in a 3TB drive and it did not get recognized. 1 TB one I tried worked fine.

It has worked with all my SATA drives from 100GB to 750GB. You'll have to use an adapter for pin conversion.

Yes it will. Just not to full capacity. SATA 2 caps at 3gb/sec instead of 6gb/sec which the drive is capable of.

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!

According to the Netgear Hardware Compatibility List Hard Disks website the 6tb isn't listed.That don't mean it won't work,netgear just don't support it.You may see it here.http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641

Yes, it works with 4TB, Seagate Desktop Solid State Hybrid Drive - 4 TB, 8 GB Flash, 3.5 in, SATA-600, Buffer 64 MB, Internal - ST4000DX001, so should work with WD drive.

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.

It should. There is one drive that Synology shows as supported for the DS2413+ so far (the Seagate ST6000NM0024), but basically the fact that one 6 TB drive works means that there are no limitations in the HW (SATA controller chips, processor addressing limitations, etc.) or the most recent DSM software that would prevent other 6 TB drives from working. Folks on the Synology user forums are reporting that they are using various 6 TB drives successfully in various Synology models at this time.

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.

Hmm.. not sure.. theoretically it should work but I didn't want to chance it. So I took my separate external 2TB drive and connected it and it works perfectly

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array. UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

I am close to saying 'I don't know' but my judgement would be if the drive fits the unit it will work.Nothing will be harmed if you try.

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.

It should work yes. I think the 1.5TB HDD would be too thick to fit in the drive bay.
