I have a question regarding this. Can anyone give me some specs or examples of HDD's that fit in there? I'm looking to upgrade my easy-swap by with a 4TB HDD. I'm not really into building or rebuilding desktops, so the easiest for me would be to get a HDD that's basically plug & play. Can anyone advise me on what I have to look for when purchasing one?

I think the HDD has to be 3.5 something in order for the HDD to work. I think it has to be exactly 3.5" to work. @Coqui13
Was that HDD 3.5 whatever. Idk but some guy did say that it the 3.5 HDD/SSD fit in perfectly and Windows 10 had no problem registering the extra one.

Pretty much any of the 3.5 drives will work. I think that currently the biggest you can find is 12TB, but 6TB or 8TB will be better for cost.
