Amazon has 2 boxes from this manufacturer. The HFR2-SU3S2 ProRaid ,, and the HFR2-SU3S2 drive enclosure. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

There are two versions of the HFR2-SU3S2: ProRaid and ProBox. The former supports RAID in hardware while the latter does not. The ProRaid supports pretty much every form of RAID I can think of, including 0 (two types), 1, 3, 5, and 10. However, the throughput in RAID mode is 3 Gbps while non-RAID can run as fast as (if your disks can keep up) 6 Gbps. Some people prefer to have their operating system implement RAID, some prefer hardware RAID. With the HFR2-SU3S2, you can buy the product that meets your needs.

Anyone has tested this unit with 6 TB hard drives?

I'm running 4 X 8TB drives with no problems.

Can this device be hooked up directly to a Router instead of a PC?

No This is not a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, unless your router has a USB Port for external storage this will not work.

What are the differences between the hf2-su31c and hf7-su31c models ? and is there proraid version of this ? (one that supports raid).

Hi, The only difference is the design of the exterior case. The main board and chipset are the same. This is NOT a raid version. The Raid version will be available in two month.
