Can I use 3TB Sata Drivers ? Any Vendors ?

Any vendor is fine. I put up to 4TB drives in this, so 3TB will definitely work.

I am running two different brands of 3 TB drives in a raid format both serial drives work seamlessly together.

Pretty sure you cld use that but I wld spend twice as much money for a different NAS. Buffalo support hands down is terrible

it will work but you wont see the full performance of the drives. you'll get between 300 and 375mb/s on sata 2.

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.

I don't see why not, it can use any SATA drive. I bought off-the-shelf WD drives for it.

It would probably work but I'd imagine the speed wouldn't be any better for than any other sata 1 drive you've had. If possible you should pick up a PCI SATA 3.0 controller or at least a 2.0 controller an use it that way if anything. Otherwise it might not even be worth it unless you plan to use it for a future build also.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

All SATA versions are backwards-compatible. Though, if you're springing for a new MoBo, you might as well toss in a newer HDD, too. WD 1TB are going for about $60 as of this writing, and it is incredibly easy to set this board up in many different multiple-drive configurations. So, you can still use your old drive (as I assume you'll at least want/need to get data off of it), but you can have something significantly faster and more capacious as your main drive. Well worth considering.

I really do not know, but I would think that it is more a question of wheather your COMPUTER will support such a drive. 3TB is a huge drive, but on the other hand, I remember wondering if I could ever fill a 40MB drive. Please remember to back it up regularly. I'll be able to hear you from here if it crashes and you haven't backed it up!

Any internal SATA drive will work fine. DVD or BLU-RAY. If you are using multiple drives, it's best to get the same brand and model for best results.

Any SATA 6GB/S is compatible with it, this Motherboard contains 6 6gb/s connectors.

Hi Z I would have to agree with R. Davis You may want to check your mother board settings as i had some problems having six sata devices connected. The drive has no drivers that come with it only some cheep burning software if you buy retail, Bulk drives is all i buy.

Yes. Sata 3 drives are backwards compatible with Sata 2 Connections and vice versa. But you'll be capped with Sata 2 speed.

Yes 4Tb drives work. The backplanes Rosewill uses don't use a separate controller instead they just pass the SATA connection straight through so any drive size will work.

The specs for the enclosure don't indicate anything beyond supporting 2.5" SATA drives; however, the version of this enclosure from Oyen Digital that ships with a 1TB hard drive uses the Hitachi 0J22423 Travelstar 7K 1000 7200RPM 6Gb drive supporting "up to 572 MB/sec" via USB3. So, both 3Gb/s drives and 6Gb/s drives are supported. I have both the FW800/USB3 version of this enclosure using a 1Tb Hybrid drive and the FW800/USB2 versions using a 500Gb Samsung SSD drive. While I have not bench-marked them, I get good performance from both.

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

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.
