2100: 4TB and larger Disks possible?
Hi!
Is it possible to use 4TB or even larger Disks in a ReadyNAS 2100v1?
The official HCL only extends up to 3TB, but then probably Netgear has stopped testing newer and bigger HDDs for older units...
Thanks in advance for your answers! :)

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredIn the 2100v1 the maximum volume capacity would be 16TB. 4TB disks should work.
- KILLITutorSo do I not have to expect difficulties with the one or other type of 4TB-disk, as due to the differing calculation method of disk makers vs. "the rest of IT" one should always be well below the 16TB-limit, right?
I'll take a look at HGST-Ultrastar and WD-Re Drives then... :) - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredI believe it is the volume capacity after redundancy.
