Is the product description just old capping it at 24TB (12x2TB)? Or is there some rare, older gizmo in place here?

When this product was released 2TB was the largest drive available. Customers have confirmed 3TB are compatible but we did not test anything above 2TB.

Yes it is, the backplane is pass through so it depends on your controller. I have 3tb and 4tb drives in them.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.

I've connected 8 x HGST 4TB NAS drives without issue. The one issue I did have is connecting two of my Samsung 850 Pro SSD drives (a 128GB and a 256GB). Neither drive was recognized when connected through the back plane. The drive sleds support mounting 2.5" drives, but for some reason these SSDs would not be detected. I confirmed the SSDs worked fine when using the same SATA cable connected right to the ports.

The connections to the drive cages are plain SATA and a Molex power connector to power the cage, so you could put 12x2TB, 12x3TB, 12x4TB and so on. As long as the drives are standard SATA drives like (http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST3000DM001/dp/B005T3GRLY/) you will not have any issues. I currently have 12x3TB in mine with no issues.

$99 for a 2TB is a steal deal! Got two of them in blue and two more in white colors. Just dumb how the red and some other colors cost few more dollars more even though its the same product.

Steve,I've never opened the box to look. The specifications upon purchase was 12 gigabytes. I just checked the System through the Control Panel and, sure enough, the system registers 12 gigabytes.

Have you received it yet? I am curious if the unit has a 250 or 320 gb hard drive. both sizes are indicated in the description.

I bought mine a few months ago and it came with a 1TB but there are different versions (different GPU, processor etc.).

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

I bought the 2TB model (4.5 x 3.2 x 0.75 inches), I think its thicker then 1TB model.

Yes, I have one built with 4x6TB WD RED drives in an 18TB RAID-5 volume. I was able to format it with GPT, NTFS. I tested copying files, and I ran a chkdsk /r to test the free space. Everything looks good so far. I am going to be using it soon to fill with data.

According to the box the max is 1TB drive. I have 500gb drives in the 2 I got the drives are a tight fit

my t400 came with a 160 gb hard drive which is one of the stock hard drive sizes originally available . it is probably a typo

As to specifically handling a 3TB drive, I can not state, although the unit will handle a combined total of 16TB, I have a 2.5 TB drive in my unit and it works very well

Yes, I'm running the 8tb version and it has the full 8tb, but for some reason I think the device used the first drive closes to the power button first for storage in this setup, but yes it works!

1tb, 32Gb is what I got. I bought 2, but Asus customer service is the worst and if there is an issue, they really don't stand behind their products.

I ordered the 2TB model, and it came without a drive. I imagine that there is something incorrectly listed in the 2TB model listing.

I believe by default they come in a RAID 1, which would give you 2TB of total storage. If you set it to RAID0, you'll get use of all 4TB (probably 3.6 or so useable) but you will not have redundancy.

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 =)
