Hey guys...
I currently have a 2 TB purple WD HDD on my pc and somehow I got a new 4TB PURPLE WD and I was wondering if my MB(ASUS Z87C) can support both of these drives ? Wouldn't I be damaging the MB if I install both of them at the same time ?
And last question, can my MB support 4TB HDD if I remove the 2TB one ?

Thanks in advance!

Your motherboard has 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports. This means it can handle any combination of HDDs and optical drives, up to six. Disk size is of no matter. If you wanted to install six 10TB hard drives, you could. Your motherboard doesn't care, so 1x2TB drive and 1x4TB drive at the same time will work just fine.
