Biggest drive on Duo still 2TB?
Even unsupported? I have an old Duo with 2x2TB HDs and was wondering if 3 or 4TBs would work. Was planning on using is as a backup to my RN202 NAS.
jbod would have two 2 TB volumes, and if one disk fails on only the data on that disk is lost.

This being the backup of a Raid1 NAS, it's not that important it be reliable. I mean, I'm just wanting to find my old Duo a home not in the trash heap. :)
If you absolutely need 4 TB in one volume, then obviously spanning RAID-0 is what you need. Though the volumes are not visible to the users (only the share names), so in most cases you can have 2 jbod volumes very easily. My duo, RN102, and RN202 are all used for backup, and all are jbod.
