does it support multiple partitions in a 3tb HDD, like 488gb x6 partitions?

The manual is fairly clear that it can only have one partition and that has to be NFTS.

I bought the driveless enclosure version. I then instalked a WD 500 gig laptop drive; so I cannot answer your question. However, my quess who be "yes". Cannot say that 100%.

I currently have a 3TB drive in it and it's working fine. I cannot comment on 4TB.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

According to the manual; it can accommodate 2TB. I would think, as long as the interface format was correct(SATA), the capacity capability would depend on how much room the drive required(is there physical room in the HD230 for a 3-4TB hard drive). Look into Solid State Drives. If you can find one with that capacity; it will be physically smaller than an optical drive.

I've actually copied a few smaller to larger drives, but I can't remember how it handled the partition on the new drives. If it didn't automatically resize to fill the drive, then it was trivial to do within Windows because I know I didn't spend a lot of time doing it, and I definitely didn't use partitioning software.

Current firmware supports 5 and 6tb drives.http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/New-Release-WD-My-Cloud-EX2-Firmware-Version-1-04-04-7-23-2014/td-p/769457

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

If it accepts 3tb drives (which is does) then I see no reason for it not to accept 4tb drives. The limit is at 2tb.

Yes with three provisos. First what you are backing up must easily fit into two 3TB of space. Second, the Seagate could also crash and third, you need to use a back-up program which makes the Seagate a startup drive. I use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

No you don't have to but if you start with 3 that should be good so in your case 3 tb per hard drive you will get 6 tb only out of 3 hard drives but worth it

Each drive will always be a bit different, as no two drives will have the exactly the same free space. Mine is 931GB

yes it will, but afterwards you will have to extend the partition if you want to use the full drive.

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

Yes. I currently am using 2 HDD's for total redundancy of my data so 2 4tb drives only provide 4tb of data storage. I am using a 3rd 4tb HDD to automatically backup the data. In the future if I add 2 more 4tb drives I could double the capacity of both the online storage and backup capacity.

Not sure why there would be a size limitation. I am using 1.5 to 3Tb SATA drives with no problems
