Which supports up to 4TB storage, supports USB3 for high speeds in the future, and is 3.5" sized.

I have been unable to find an enclosure which meets all the above requirements.

Thanks! hehe, well a little too expensive just to have 1 HDD of 4TB :)

All I need is something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707227 but which supports at least up to 4TB and not 2...
I don't understand why in our age, products are still limited by supported HDD capacity.. its like 15 years ago you would buy a motherboard, and find out a year later it does not support bigger HDD :)

there was another but that was one of the best I could find really. Icy Dock makes good stuff so I went the item with the best rating cause I didn't want you to be disappointed with something that hasn't been rated yet and it ends up not being up to par. Anyhow glad you found what you needed though see ya!
