What is the Maximum Capacity Hard Drive can I install into the enclosure or Dock and Power Requirement of the drive? [#33402]

  • Please note the following requirement for USB enclosures, eSATA enclosures and Docks. 

    For Enclosures:

    It can vary depending on the age and type of the Enclosures.

    2.5" SATA drive, USB enclosures:
    The maximum capacity is 4TB or more for the current shipping model as of this writing (Feb 5, 2020). Please write to support@vantecusa.com for further help or questions.

    2.5" SATA drive, eSATA enclosures:
    Please check with your system manufacturer on the eSATA port, some system eSATA may only support 2TB drive. Our eSATA enclosure maximum capacity is 4TB or more for the current shipping model as of this writing (Feb 5, 2020). Please write to support@vantecusa.com for further help or questions.

    Please READ these Limitation: 

    1)  For 2.5" SATA drive, Maximum Capacity alone is not the only thing you have to check, the other important criteria are the thickness of the drive. If your 2.5" enclosure will only fit a drive with the thickness (or height) of 7mm drive, trying to put a 9.5mm thickness drive into the enclosure will not fit.

    2)  The power requirement of the drive is also very important. Most drives are designed for installing into the systems with unlimited power. If you purchase a big capacity drive with power requirements that exceed the power your USB port can provide, it will not function. This is the fault of your USB port lack of power and your power hungry drive, not the enclosure issue. The enclosure uses minimum power. Your Drive plus the enclosure MUST not exceed the power capability of your USB port.

    3) Support AF or 512e drives only, do not support 4Kn drives.

     

    3.5" SATA drive, USB enclosures:
    The maximum capacity is 16TB or more for the current shipping model as of this writing (Feb 5, 2020).
    It is maybe 2TB for an older or discontinued model. You can also write to us for help concerning an older enclosure(s) capacity. Please write to support@vantecusa.com for further help or questions.

    3.5" SATA drive, eSATA enclosures:
    Please check with your system manufacturer on the eSATA port, some system eSATA may only support 2TB drive. Our eSATA enclosure maximum capacity is 12TB for the current shipping model as of this writing (Feb 5, 2020). Please write to support@vantecusa.com for further help or questions.

    Please READ these Limitation: 

    1) The power requirement of the drive is also very important. Most drives are designed to draw less than 13 watts per drive. The enclosure uses minimum power and the ac adapter that comes with the enclosure are designed for most standard power requirement of the drives. If you purchase drives that draw too much power (greater than 13 watts) and exceed the specifications of the enclosure ac adapter, it will not function correctly. Please check the label on the drive for the power specifications. If your drives exceeded the limitation, you may have to purchase a bigger ac adapter for your needs, please contact Vantec Support for sizing the ac adapter for your needs and to purchase optional bigger ac adapter. 

    2) Support AF or 512e drives only, do not support 4Kn drives.

     

    Older 2.5" or 3.5" IDE drive, USB enclosures:
    If you are using an older USB enclosure for IDE drive, generally for 2.5" IDE, USB enclosure it is 320GB and for 3.5" USB enclosure is 750GB. 

     

    For Docks:

    It can vary depending on the age and type of interface of the Dock.

    Docks are designed for 2.5" or 3.5" SATA Drives, for current shipping docks as of this writing (Feb 5, 2020), 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD, the capacity ranges from 100GB to 4TB, and for 3.5" SATA drive, it is 500GB to 16TB.
    Please write to support@vantecusa.com for further help or questions if you are not sure.

    Please READ these Limitation: 

    1) The power requirement of the drive is also very important. Most drives are designed to draw less than 13 watts per drive. The dock uses minimum power and the ac adapter that comes with the dock are designed for most standard power requirement of the drives. If you purchase drives that draw too much power (greater than 13 watts) and exceed the specifications of the dock ac adapter, it will not function correctly. Please check the label on the drive for the power specifications. If your drives exceeded the limitation, you may have to purchase a bigger ac adapter for your needs, please contact Vantec Support for sizing the ac adapter for your needs and to purchase optional bigger ac adapter. 

    2) Support AF or 512e drives only, do not support 4Kn drives.

Make sure that there is a check in the box of the drive that needs to be initialized, select check MBR if your hard drive is smaller than 2TB, if it is greater than 2TB, please check GPT and then left-click on the Ok button. If the wizard does show up, go to step 5. If the wizard does not show up, please see the note and additional images directly below.

     

     

    STOP   Critical: If your hard drive is greater than 2TB in capacity, you need to use check GPT(GUID Partition Table), if it is smaller, select MBR.

    The drive is now initialized. The disk should have a black bar and say that it is Unallocated. You should now be able to create a partition and format the hard drive.

     

    Image

     

    Now right click the unallocated space and click create a New Simple Volume shown below:

     

     

    Follow the on screen wizard by clicking Next

    d12075fe11cf486a8c71aaf.png

     

    Assign a drive letter to the drive, if you are not sure use the default and click Next

     

    584018838e134ecea7380b0.png

     

    Format the partition and name the volume, if you are not sure use the default
