Can it read 4TB hard drive?

Yes, it can. Streaming movies through it over WiFi causes frequent buffering, however all 4TB content is visible.

GD, I have not tried since I dont have one. Virtually it shall work since it worked finr with 1 TB HDD. Moroeover, it is an excelent tool for wireless data transfer between your Smartphone and USB and-or SD cards and control is in your Smart Phone or Tablet. Plus a battery bank is a bonus.

According to Lenovo's website it does support 4TB. Seagate NAS HDD 4TB ST4000VN000, WD Red 4TB WD40EFRX, Seagate Barracuda 4TB ST4000DM000, WD Caviar Green 4TB WD40EZRX are all supported. https://lenovo-na-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30797

I have a 4 TB drive in this enclosure (and 3 2TB's). You must format (partition) the drive correctly. Do not format it as a MBR partition. It will only recognize 2 TB if you do that. Partition as GPT.

Yes, but it needs FAT32 file format and won't read NTFS* (which is default on most drives). This link shows how to quickly reformat your drive while also making sure you back up your data. http://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32

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.

The 4TB version has 2-2TB drives hence 4TB. That is in RAID 0 format. If you setup RAID 1 you only have 2TB usable.Good luck

The Perc6I will not support larger than a 2TB HDD. In order to use a 4TB you would need to upgrade to a H700 controller.

I currently have a 1tb usb drive connected and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't support 2tb.

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

No, unfortunately it will not work with a 4 TB hard drive. Generally, you can only use a 2 TB or smaller USB drive that hasn't been reformatted. Here are the limits as I know them: 1) Only FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32, and an old version of NTFS are supported. 2) Intel GUID Partition Table (GPT) and Linux ext3 formats are not supported. So it must be a WinXP-or-below PC-formatted drive, not Mac or Linux, and not a modern NTFS, which uses dynamic or GPT partitioning. 3) Because GPT volumes are not supported, 2TB is the max volume/partition size. 4) Maximum file sizes are as follows: FAT: 2 GB. FAT32: 4 GB. WinXP NTFS: Volume Size. So, you will have trouble storing some HD movie or TV shows if you are using a FAT-formatted volume. To create the old-style NTFS format, you will need a Win XP or 2000 computer. 5) You are limited to using the first 8 volumes/partitions on the drive. 6) The drive cannot be encrypted. 7) If the drive is powered off the USB port on the router, then it cannot draw more than 500mA.

I have not tried. I have tried upto 1tb. If your drive has external power supply i dont see why should there be a problem. However i think i read somewhere that it supports upto 1tb. Anyways i found this product super useful.

It will only accept a 2TB I have tried the 3TB and it format it but won't read it after that.

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.

I used 4TB Drives from WDC and Seagate, they work fine. I don't know if 5TB drive would work or not.

Hi Joey S.Yes, it works with 4TB drives, be sure the supplied power adapter is plugged to ensure enough power.Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)
