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 version of RAIDiator on the NAS? - DrJonesAspirantSeagate Expansion USB 3.0 STBV3000100

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?
- DrJonesAspirantYes, it reports 2783GB in frontview.
