Can This box Support External hard drive? Up to how many TB can it support?

Yes it connects easily to external USB HDDs. The limit is 2TB, have a 3TB and had to partition it into 1TB and 2TB partitions to use it. It is a great little Android box. Turned my "dumb" 50" flat screen into a "Smart TV" at a fraction of the cost and far more powerful & scale able than any Smart TV currently on the market. I was really surprised how small the device itself is. Finding the right wireless keypad has been the challenge.

Not sure, I placed 2 2TB drives for a 4TB total and the unit performs fine. Very happy with the unit. Perhaps check the website to see what the approved drives it will accept.

I have the WDE1UBK10000N and it is a solid well built external! I don't think you can go wrong with the elements terabyte hdd!

I have not tied that specific drive but used Western Digital 500 gb, Acomdata 120 gb and some USB thumb drives. Everything worked fine. I think as long as the hard drive can be connected via USB 2.0 it should work.

The unit might not be able to handle that capacity of a drive you might want to check the manual

Up to 4 hard drives of 2 TB each. Total of 8 TB. This is the capacity assured by the manufacturer.But many users stated that the unit will handle 3TB drives too.

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.

While I have not tried a 3TB hard drive in this device I have used it with a 2TB drive and see no reason why a 3TB wouldn't work!

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

Yes, some 4T drives are supported. Hard disk compatibility can be searched for any of their units on their web site: http://www.synology.com/support/hd.php

I tried to plug in an external 320GB hard drive and it didn't work at all. The enclosure had its own power supply and I have plugged it into other USB Hubs before, but this one didn't even recognize it. don't know if it was defective or a limitation of the design, but I am returning it considering that I bought this Hub to swap multiple external hard drives and thumb drives. Hope this helps.

This is not an internal or external hard drive. It is an external casing. So it does not matter what the OS is as long as you have USB support, the enclosure should work.

not all drives are supported,recommend downloading the manual.I followed neweggs "to manufactures site" to get it.

Yes, I have a 320gb usb external hard drive operating off of this hub and it works fine for me.

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.

Hmm.. not sure.. theoretically it should work but I didn't want to chance it. So I took my separate external 2TB drive and connected it and it works perfectly
