## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I buy the empty enclosure, What’s the max HD capacity in TB that it will work with? Can I use a 16TB hard drive?**
A: Yes works just fine

**Q: How well does this muffle the noise from drives? And how well does it dissipate heat? Thank you.**
A: Drives are fairly silent. I have two on top of each other and found that placing them on a firm foam pad insulated some bussing sound that was transferred to my desk and barely hear them now. Very solid enclosures and no issues for years and 4 drives.

**Q: Can this be powered by the usb-c connection, or does it require the separate 12v power supply?**
A: Hi, it can only be powered using the included 12V power adapter. Thanks! Oyen Digital Support

**Q: Is this usb 3.1 gen 2? amazon listing says 3.0.**
A: The box says 3.1 Gen2.
