Will this work with a 6tb drive?

From Macally tech support, "...there is no limit on the size of the hard drive you put inside. My product development team says whatever is commercially available on the market should work fine."

I don't know if the hardware recognizes 6TB but I guess it should. I put on mine a 3TB and it works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro at least a year already.

If the drive is a standard sata it will not work. U will need a sata cable. This is a micro sata cable for 1.8 drives

Not sure, I put a 3tb in mine, but I also have a 4tb external connected to it. I don't see why it wouldn't accept a 4tb drive internally.

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.

I have a 3tb drive in mine and it works fine I don't see any reason why it won't work with a 4 Tb drive

It should work perfectly, though I haven't tested it with this specific drive

In not sure but I'm going to say no. Since you have to install drivers for this hdd before using it.

If you plug in any drive or add to nas it would work. Make sure all drives are same speed but I wouldn't. It's not a good idea. Use internal drives for nas

This is a question that changes with time. As of the date I write this, the Mobius has been tested to 6TB/bay, and I am successfully using a 6TB drive myself. They say they are preparing to test 8TB drives, but until tested they won't say for sure that it will support it. Interestingly, the SATA standard actually supports 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA), which allows for disks up to 144 PETAbytes (144,000 TB!) in size. So, as long as each manufacturer holds to that standard, you should effectively be able to put ANY size drive in the enclosure far into the future. However, only 6TB/bay has been tested as of the date I write this.

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

I thnk it will and the setup should be quite easy. But my drive just stopped working after 1 year of flawless working; and hence all my precious data is at stake. so i wont suggest storing any precious data in this drive

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

I bought it for a Seagate 2tb and it works fine, I assume the tb size would not make a difference and that it will work with yours

It will work I have an enteral 3tb and the external USB 4tb seagate works fine...

Yes. But not all external drives will work. I tried plugging in a 3TB drive and it did not get recognized. 1 TB one I tried worked fine.

I doubt it. I am not able to make it work with very many drives. I have gotten it to work with 1 WD 320 drive, but almost all others I have tried it won't talk to or requires that I format them every time I try and use them.
