I was wondering if the KDLinks USB 3 dock works with 5 TB Hard drives? I have 4 TB Hard drives work fine so I was wondering about 5 TB.

Sorry...I have no idea. I've been using mine to read hard drives from old computers.

No I have not tried to use this with a 3.5 disk drive . Do not even have one any more.

Just note that USB 3 ports of this docking station run at 2.5Gbps/sec (not at 5Gbps/sec). This only becomes a limiting factor if you connect an SSD thorough them. For other stuff 2.5Gbps are more than enough.

You might prefer to get the KF-253-BK. It holds a 3.5 + 2.5 + 2x USB 3.0. Amazon has them now for $45, but I bought mine around 25-30 some time ago. That's what I use daily in my home system and I'm very, very happy running an SSD + 3.5 hdd with 2 USB 3.0 jacks for blazing fast backups to a portable USB 3.0 hdd. Regarding the KF-1000-BK: I have encountered some old SATA drives that have a different location for the rear pins, and those would not fit. As to the laptop size drives, I believe they will fit and be held by the one wire spring. It's not that secure of a hold, but then, you hopefully aren't taking this thing 4 wheeling either. What I'm happiest about is the drive lights, and the ease of swapping drives. I very securely screw in the hdd tray, then can swap when I need to. The activity lights are especially helpful to diagnose problems, and just generally let me know what's going on with my drives. I put these in all the PC's I build for work. These or the KF-253-BK above. The quality is very good and they do everything I need for amazingly cheap. Good Luck!

While I haven't tried the dock with that particular Seagate model, I haven't found any Sata drive that it has not worked for.

Yes, you can set up the HDD as mapped drives under Windows using the web administration. It's easy. I have both mounted HDD and a third drive that's USB connected to that port as well, giving three overall drives per dock. I use this set up in addition to my NAS since it's so easy to remove the HDD and use it as a portable, while the NAS uses internal 3.5" drives.

I bought mine from Apple, when I bought my MacBook Pro, and it did include a short cable (approx. 18"). It may depend on the configuration that you order. The same drive will fit multiple docks, each with different connectors. Mine had the Thunderbolt dock for the drive. My guess is that it would come with whichever cable you need for the dock that you bought. (The listing says that it includes a 0.5 meter cable, where it compares the GoFlex, GoDesk, and other configurations.)

I bought 3 of these and they each have different drive. I do not see any reason why your drive will not work as long as it is 3.5". The tricky part is opening case to install your drive...but You Tube has videos to instruct how to do it. I love these external cases!,

10 4tb HDDs....that is some heavy editing. The iDsonix USB 3 has 10 powered ports and an 11th port for ONLY charging, but you can read that in the description. I like that you can turn off each "set of three ports" with their individual on/off switch. I connect three 1TB HDDs and the other seven are used for misc. things. Powered wireless mouse, 2 usb to micro usb (not powered). I can't say that 100% of the time all ports are in use. I love mine and I'd suggest you try it. If it doesn't handle your load Amazon with take it back. Good luck

Max supported size? Dimensionally, it fits every modern 3.5 inch drive I've tried. Gig/Terabyte wise, it doesn't care, the Serial ATA (SATA) data connectors pass through. If your drive will work without this dock, it should work with the dock.It's sort of like asking how fast a car can your garage handle. The garage doesn't care about speed, just if it will fit through the door.

This item is for converting a 2.5" drive into a 3.5" bay for use in a desktop computer internally. If you wanted to use this as an external drive as you asked, you technically could do this if you also bought an extra, external drive enclosure for a 3.5" drive. I have to ask though, why do that when you can just buy an external drive enclosure for a 2.5" drive instead of this Icy Dock + a 3.5 " drive bay and essentially double-converting it?

The default is 3.5" drives. I have used an IcyDock to support 2.5" SSD drives as well.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! No, our dock only takes SATA hard drives. Your drive is not compatible as it uses a different connection, commonly referred to as IDE/PATA.

It will work on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. If your computer does not have these, there is no way to connect. BTW, I just bought my second KDLinks USB Drive connector.

I used 4TB Drives from WDC and Seagate, they work fine. I don't know if 5TB drive would work or not.

3.5" drives...you could use 2.5" drives with a full size adapter like the IcyDock EZConvert. ICY DOCK EZConvert MB882SP-1S-2B Light Weight 2.5" to 3.5" SAS / SATA (22pin) HDD & SSD Converter / Mounting Kit - Ver.2

You can use usb drives with it just have to get a OTG cable which is fairly cheap! You DON"T need a docking staion!!
