Question 1

can I use this along side a media server as an external storage device and connect it to my router?

Accepted Answer

NAS, as stated by previous answer, is a good option.  The definitive answer to this is NO - do not use the ICY Dock for your application.  It is in the open, does not offer any stability, cover or active cooling to drives.  Go for an external, enclosed drive, or load it in as another drive on the server and limit or allow access (if you have the room).

Question 2

Does this support 4TB drives? The Newegg description says up to 3TB but the Icydock website says 4TB...

Accepted Answer

It does support 4TB HDD.
