3TB USB Compatible with ReadyNAS Ultra 6?

As titled, I couldn't find any definitive answers.

I just plugged a 3TB Seagate external into my Ultra 6 to use as backup.

Formatted it to EXT3 and a job is running, just wanted to check here to ensure it's compatible.

Please let me know...thanks!

    What brand and model USB disk?

    What version of RAIDiator on the NAS?
  • Seagate Expansion USB 3.0 STBV3000100
    PN: 1D7AN3-570

    RAIDiator v.4.2.15

    It tells me that it has successfully completed a few backup jobs & I seem to be able to browse the files ok; pictures open up, etc.
  • Support for internal 3 TB drives was added in 4.2.16, though external may have worked before that. Does the NAS report the full size for the drive?
