3TB (GPT) external disk support via USB3.0 on ARM Duo/NV+ v2
I'd like to see GPT (GUID Partition Table) support for 3TB and larger external drives connected to the ARM ReadyNAS products (Duo V2 / NV+ V2) via the USB3.0 ports. Thanks
Thanks for the reply PapaBear.
Using the (Sans Digital TR5UTP) RAID external box is ultimately what I'd like to use, but first GPT support would be needed for it to have a chance.
Initially, I'd settle for using my 3TB Seagate external USB 3.0 drive. That doesn't work either. A 2TB drive (mounted in an external dock) works.
As far as I know, drives larger than 2TB don't work via USB on the ARM boxes. I've read posts from others having problems with drives larger than 2TB, and so far have not seen a post where someone was successful using a 3TB drive via USB. If someone has had success, I'd appreciate it if you would post the make and model number.
(BTW, I currently connect the external Sans Digital TR5UTP RAID box via USB3.0 to a Centos Linux box and backup my ReadyNAS machines to the RAID box on the Linux machine)
