Does this enclosure support 3TB drives?

Yes but not "Green" harddrives. Didn't realize this until I tried to get one to work.

Yes, as a JBOD I have (1) 3TB and (3) 500 GB drives installed. I will add though, my MacMini has a had issues with seeing all.
1575672
yes it does. It also supports 4TB drives. I currently have (2) 4TB drives. It may support (4) 4TB drives but I cannot verify as this is not my particular setup.
1575673
Yes it does I have 4 3tb drives in one and they work just fine, it will support up to 12tb

As to specifically handling a 3TB drive, I can not state, although the unit will handle a combined total of 16TB, I have a 2.5 TB drive in my unit and it works very well

Capacity as in number of drives? Or the GB/TB size of a drive?This enclosure can hold four 3.5" drives. As for the capacity of a single drive, that is limited to the capacity that the controller you hook this up to can handle. This enclosure doesn't have an integrated controller, it simply provides a hot-swappable means of connecting hard drives to a separate RAID controller(that has to be purchased separately) or your motherboards SATA ports.

4 internal drive bays - non hotswap. Mine (running Linux) does not recognise 3TB drive, newer ones might. Yes you can add external USG drives. 4 USB 2.0 ports in front and 2 in back,

I just wanted to add that RAID 1 means 2 3TB drives will show up as 3TB (not 6TB) as it is a "mirrored" solution (and what I would recommend). So the MAX capacity in that set up is 4TB.

I bought mine long before 2TB HDDs existed; I suspect this enclosure might not support a drive of that size. Sorry I can't assist.

Yes - I have several of 4TB Seagate drives as well as a number of 3TB and other sizes. I have not had any problems.

While I have not verified this myself, the Specifications on the outside of the box shows "HDD Size Supports up to 2 TB"

Yes,I use 3 sans digital 8 bays and added this one to the group and put 3tb drives in it.WORKS GREAT!

That will depend on your OS and drive manufacturer. I'm using Win 7 and a Seagate drive so I had to partition my 3TB into 2 logical drives. Don't quite understand why but that's what Seagate said I had to do.

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

6TB Drives are supported. I am currently running it on my DS2413+ NAS.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS2413+

Assuming you mean "capacity" and not "physical size", I don't think so. I picked this up from the store, and returned it the next day after it failed to work with a 3TB WD Caviar Green drive, though it worked fine with a 1TB version of the same drive. I never did any additional research, so I don't know for sure, but it's probably limited to 2TB hdds, like most of the older external enclosures I've come across.

I have 5- 3.5" 3TB drives in mine. You could probably use the 5.25" bays to mount up to 2 additional 3.5" drives with some adapters.

Hi FYI I dont think that the unit will support a drive over 3TB. 2TB is the limit. But maybe the unit you get will You should make sure to check on that. mine does not. Sorry I cant answer you question I have never tried RAID with my units they are just dumb drives.

While I have not tried a 3TB hard drive in this device I have used it with a 2TB drive and see no reason why a 3TB wouldn't work!

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

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