I have two drives can I expand the system to accommodate both drives with different chimes? Or do I have to purchase 2? Will this work?

I used 2 receivers with one transmitter in the past. I know they have a unit with multiple chimes and will receive a few different transmitters. Check the website for the one that fits what you need, or call their tech support. They are very helpful and know their stuff. Hope this helps.

No, you can not. The device takes 3.5 inch drives and can not use 2.5 inch drives.

You can't daisy chain these drives since they only have one usb port. Both must be connected to your computer at the same time in order to transfer data from one another

I started with one 2TB and have been running it for several months. Adding a second of another brand and size. It's flexible to do that. You can even put in 2.5's with a converter tray, or some people mix in SSD's as well. Pretty limitless. AND most use cases are hot swappable, meaning you can pull and add drives while running.

You sure can. I have mine working with one WD red 3tb hard drive. Will upgrade to another one same capacity once I get this one full.

No. The model I have will accept either a 2.5" drive OR a 3.5" drive, but they cannot be inserted simultaneously. I have been very please with the product, and do not consider this a limitation. Should you need to transfer data between two external HDDs, an inexpensive enclosure would allow you to do so.

I'm not sure. That might be needed. I still haven't been able to get mine to work in either drive yet.

I do not think so. This is the RAID version of the enclosure so it will reformat the drives to a single volume. Look at the non-RAID version and it might be able to do what you want.

Greetings,Great question!Yes, absolutely. The two drive types can be installed and utilized in conjunction with one another.Best regards,MITXPC

I think the dual thunderbolt version is primarily intended for that. I suppose if you used the USB port to connect to the computer and the thunderbolt to daisy chain to another gdrive, it would work. On the product creator's site, there is this forum entry on daisy chaining: http://support.g-technology.com/kbase/users/kb.php?id=76 I admit I have not tried this. Otherwise, if you want to go completely thunderbolt on it, you should choose the version of the g-drive with dual thunderbolt ports on it. http://www.amazon.com/G-Technology-G-RAID-Dual-External-Drive/dp/B002QID2NG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402279606&sr=8-2&keywords=g+drive+dual+thunderbolt

absolutely...there is a cage that is designed to hold two hard drives. very simple to remove the cage(one screw) and install a second hard drive.

Yes you can, its like having two hard drives connected independently only via the same cable.

Yeah, I fell for it, too. I thought I was getting 2x 4TB drives -- and it is TB, btw...not gb (which is 1000x less). I found it's only 2x 2TB drives. I believe you can change the Raid to 0, though...which will stripe data across both of them and you'll get nearly 4TB of storage. The only downside to this is if one fails, you lose the data on both. Make it more fun then...and add a 2nd one to the network and have them back each other up =)

Unfortunately just one. You can't daisy chain using this drive. FYI - after one week my g-tech died.

This device will neither allow or disallow that. This converter will merely allow you to mount 2 drives in one bay. If your motherboard has RAID capabilities then yes, you can configure 2 drives as one.

If your box appears as a single drive,maybe. be aware that this adapter will change the format of your drive and although you can still read it, it might not work in your situation. The manual not too clearly states that it doesn't work with USB hubs, and if your drive enclosure treats the two drives in that way, it won't work. Back everything up first, and be prepared to reformat your disks if it doesn't work.

It's been awhile since I put my together... I currently have one SSD as the OS Drive, one 3.5 data drive and if I remember correctly it's using up all the space on that mount. There is a 5.25 bay which I'm using for a Blu-Ray drive, but I'd imagine you could get something like a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and get your 3rd drive in there that way. Page 3 in the manual (6 on the PDF) will give you a better idea of how the insides are laid out: http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-GD05-Manual.pdf
