Will it accept 4TB drives?

The older Thecus N5200 series is limited to 2TB drives, but I am aware of no such limitation for the N5550 NAS. Load it up!

I would suggest you visit the thecus website, find the unit you are interested in and then look up the HDD compatibility for the drives you are thinking about. I would recommend you pick enterprise type disks and buy a spare additional disk of the same kind to have on the shelf in case one fails.

If it accepts 3tb drives (which is does) then I see no reason for it not to accept 4tb drives. The limit is at 2tb.

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.

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 don't see why not, it can use any SATA drive. I bought off-the-shelf WD drives for it.

William, Yes you can, the diskless EX4 through the 16 TB EX 4 cases/software are all the same and will accept the WD 4TB drives

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 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.

Yes it can. It just has some extra capabilities that you won't be using, which won't impact anything. Wow, I just looked and saw why you're looking to buy this one - it's the cheapest 4TB drive available. Wow. I'd say go ahead and get it.

I'm using it for 1 TB drive, so I think it should work as well for 4 TB drive.

The one I received didn't work at all. I returned it for a Drobo. I use 2TB drives in the Drobo so I don't know about 4 in that.

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+

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.

I had 2TB intalled on this enclosure. I think it will work with a bigger hard drive like 6TB.

Yes-- but you may require a firmware update.When I got mine, it would not see my 4TB drive. I eventually found the firmware update on their site:http://plugable.com/2013/03/05/usb3-sata-u3-firmware-updateAfter updating it, 4TB drives work fine.

Yes it supports large drives. I have connected on a Mac and i use 4TB drive in any format NTFS FAT or Mac OS X journaled. No problem
