Question 1

Has anyone used this with an 8TB HD?

Accepted Answer

I used this with an 8TB hard drive that I pulled out of a Seagate external enclosure.  I switched to this enclosure because I was encountering errors when copying large amounts of data to the drive (1.5+ TB), but unfortunately switching enclosures did not help.  The issue could have been related to the laptop I was using at the time, as the hard drive now works fine as an internal hard drive in my desktop computer.

Question 2

What are the physical USB connection types on both ends of the included cable? My computer only has the standard USB - A connectors

Accepted Answer

The USB 3.0 connection on the included cable is backward-compatible with standard USB 2.0 connectors. This means you can use the USB 3.0 cable with a standard USB-A connector on your computer.
