4tb drive support
Does anyone know if ReadyNAS will ever support 4tb drives? I'm at my limit and need to start looking for bigger drive storage. I would prefer to add bigger drives instead of getting a new system all t...
Hello all. I just wanted to add that at least for the ReadyNAS 1100, disks greater than 2TB are supported when attached as USB drives. However, I was unable to format a 3TB with FAT32 using the onboard utility so I formatted it FAT32 and then attached the drive ( a WD My Book 3TB). Also, because of a FAT32 partition size limitation in Windows I had to use a 3rd party utility to format it FAT32 with a 3TB partition.
This was done under firmware 4.1.7 and the new firmware 4.1.8 specifically says drives greater than 2TB are not supported. I've upgraded the firmware and can still see the 3TB external USB drive and I'll see if it works again when we attach another 3TB external USB drive later.
