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.

The Synology website says that 6TB drives are supported. Check the drive that you are planning on getting with their list to be sure.

Absolutely. I installed a 2TB drive in mine 6 months ago. Works like a charm.

I have 2 (two) 8TB Seagate 3.5" hard drive in it and both works flawlessly, writing at the same time using a single eSATA interface. So with 4TB only 50% of my capacity per drive, it will support. In fact, I don't think it's the box's job to claim what it supports, it's just a marketing ploy and as you can see it's outdated. 6TB and 8TB drives are out now and they work.

NO! It does NOT work with anything larger than 2TB. I purchased it specifically for use with 3TB and 4TB drives - and it does NOT work. I contacted customer service, and they affirmed that it only works with drives up to 2TB. I have to return it now. Very disappointed.

Yes, you can. That's the main reason I bought it. Just make sure your HD is 2TB or less. It works great!

To utilize this as a "Personal Cloud Network Connected Storage" with up to a 2 TB hard drive, yes it will. I've been using this for over a year now and it's worked very well, especially at dissipating the heat from the hard drive very well. I don't believe this will enclose over a 2TB, though, as the more "capacity" usually the thicker the outside casing is. You might measure the HDD that you want to enclose and see if it fits within the dimension that the manufacturer has given in the specs on this product. I hope this give you some positive guidance.......

I have a 2TB HDD connected to a Netgear router. According to the literature, the 2TB is the upper limit of what can be supported with a direct connection to a router. You should, however, be able to connect the 3TB unit directly to your PC. I had read where Windows now takes storage units greater then 2TB. That said, I'd do a search with BING or GOOGLE to verify that or, perhaps, talk to somebody at BEST BUY or similar.Good luck!

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

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.

It will only accept a 2TB I have tried the 3TB and it format it but won't read it after that.

According to the instructions it will only support up to 3TB, but there have been reports of people using 4TB drives... So, you could try it, but to be on the safe side ask the manufacture.

As per the website, 2x3 tb can be use. So your 4tb don't look to be compatible.

Sorry for the late respond but according to the box it can support up to 1tb max I have a 500 gig in mine

No the AMS spec sheet states up to 10 TB which would indicate that it supports 2 TB Drives x 5. It also indicated that it has been tested with 160 GB to 2TB drives, but that it is also OS system dependent.

Yes, depens how big is your harddrive. A 2tb will record more than 30 days.
