Will this support external hard drives over 2tb up to 4tb? If so, how many?

I currently have a 3TB Western Digital SATA drive installed.So yes it will support over 2TB. I cannot confirm about 4TB support however.

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

It supports external HD's but I didn't like the product and I wouldn't recommend it.

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

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.

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!

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.

Yes. That's what I use them for. I have 3 of these with 4 TB Backup Plus drives.

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 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In fact, I don't think it's the box's job to claim what it supports, it's just a marketing ploy and as you can see it's outdated. 6TB and 8TB drives are out now and they work.

I just now went to the manufacturers web site and downloaded the user manual for this device. And in the manual it states that it supports drives up to 4TB depending on the operating system you are using. Go to this link and you can download the manual to see for yourself.

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).

I haven't yet tried a 4TB drive, but I have used a 3TB drive with NTFS formatting with no problems.

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.

If you have the sw for it. I am using 4 different size drives, the largest being 2 tb the smallest being 250 gb. I can access any drive or multiple drives through through the usb port.

The DS2413+ does support 4 TB drives for a total of 48 TB of storage. Here is a link to the Synology page that shows the list of drive models that have been confirmed to work with the DS2413+: https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/hd/model/DS2413+
