It mentions 8TB for one router, but that's it.

Thank for the replies all. Shame it can't support a large HDD.
True. But a lot has changed since ReadySHARE arrived. Small, Mb thumbdrives gave way to Gb pocket sized numbers and then to the large TB boxes that are supposed to replace multi-drive NAS Ethernet enclosures.
ReadySHARE wasn't designed for that and hasn't seen much in the way of development since then.
It is a pity that NAS costs haven't come down as quickly as other devices.
I have 8TB + 4TB connected, with space to fill two other USB slots with whatever I like. You can do 16 TB but not with a single device.
