Largest Drive addable to Duo V2

What is the largest drive that can be installed to a Duo V2?
and out of curiosity what is limiting it to that size?

Thanks,

    Thanks,
    The largest drive on the HCL is 3 TB (http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=82).

    A 4 TB drive could probably be installed and work. Though there's a risk that the drive might not be compatible, and Netgear will generally deny support if the drives are not on the HCL.

    Cool, thanks you for reply.

    So it seems like no readynas yet supports a 4TB
    Correct. Although a couple of people have installed them anyway (viewtopic.php?f=83&t=58447)
  • When there is a viable pool of 4TB drives, Netgear will probably test them. There is no hurdle as there was between 2TB and 3TB.
