Future HDD sizes
Hi I currently own a Readynas pro with 1.5tb drives with x-raid but there are going to be 4tb drives out at the end of the year. I heard there is a volume size limit on the Readynas something like 16t...

With 6x4TB drives there would be 18.6TB before overheads. To get more than 16TB of space you need to factory default with the drives in place. If using X-RAID2 (e.g. single-redundancy) you can only have one volume so the factory reset is necessary. If using Flex-RAID you can add an additional volume. You cannot switch between X-RAID2 and Flex-RAID except via a factory reset.
