Can this take 4 4tb disk? What about 5tb?

I have not tried 5TB, I am using 4TB at the moment. I don't see why it wouldn't take 5TB drives. If you are using Windows, you should partition them in GPT format. Mac wouldn't have a problem either. Hope this answer your questions

Not sure I currently have 3tb, 2tb and two 1tb hard drives. It holds 4 hard drives total. I'm would assume it would hold 4tb. Sorry I'm not that much of help.

it can handle as many TB as you'd like but it's better to use the data than the USB. also very careful when you take out the drives. it's very fragile. hope this helps. cheers

I installed an internal 3tb drive with no problems, all 3 tb useable. Firmware Version 1.0.1.52 will support 4tb external, but I'm not sure about internal. I would think it would.

The unit will hold 3 drives, either 3.5" or 2.5", with 3.5" drives at 4Tb then the max storage capacity would be 12Tb.

That is the theory of a RAID 5. I had a 4TB drive fail after a month on duty. Western Digital immediately sent me a new one, I plugged it in and it took about four days to re-establish the full RAID. My 16TB with 12 TB usable space on RAID 5 was loaded with 4TB of records. So, if you want to upgrade your system one drive at a time, better be patient.

I have eight 4TB drives, totaling to 32 TB's. Haven't tried 5TB drives.Do note that I'm no longer using the included RAID controller though, it had too many issues. I opted for the SANS DIGITAL HA-DAT-4ESPCIE PCI-Express x8 SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card on Newegg, had no issues with it since.I think the bus supports 64-bit address mapping, so the capacity limitation per drive is most likely a limitation of the controller and not the multiplier that's built into the SAN enclosure.

To the best of my knowledge: No!. You'd have to verify with the company, however. I've only used drives up to 2TB (mostly due to OS compatibility).

Look for Overview of Disk Management in Admin Tools and format your disc using GPT. Then you will see all 4tb (though you won't get all 4tb, nobody does.)

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.

I have not tried it with a 4TB, only a 3TB, but it works fine with that. Orico's site says it is compatible with all SATA III Hard drives, so I suspect that it would work fine with a 4TB. I believe that Amazon would let you return it if it is not compatible. The OS may limit your partition(s) size, but that would be true even if installed internally in your system.

I have not tried yet, I am not sure about it. I have got in touch with the technicians at USpeed for their answer. I might buy a 4Tb myself if it works.

I believe the drive I installed in it was 1TB. Actually, as long as it's a 2.5 inch drive, the capacity, I believe, is irrelevant.

Assuming 4TB drives a re supported (may require a firmware upgrade on the RAID controller) then 32TB is correct. If 4TB drives aren't supported by Highpoint (the RAID controller vendor) then the limit is 24TB (8x3TB drives.)

It handles 2TB no issues and you can mount as 1 big drive. Suspect if you upgrade to whs2011 it can handle it. I have 2 whs and like them. Pimped them out with more ram and a faster CPU

Yes, you can mix different drives up to 4TB in size each for a total of 32TB.

You can configure the drive to be either 4 TB or 8 TB. The device itself only contains two 4TB drives.

Do not know if 4tb drive works. Took a 3tb Western Digital USB drive and removed the drive from the case and put it into this system. Worked great and was cheapest way to get a large drive.

yes it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.
