The 2100 v1 supports volumes up to 16TB in capacity. You can have multiple volumes though.
The 2100 v2 supports larger volumes. The v2 can run OS6 (though not supported) which has better support for high capacity disks. Upgrading to OS6 does require a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) however.
If you have the v2 it'll be obvious looking at RAIDar or at Frontview.
Either way you may be able to use larger disks than 4TB, but some high capacity disks might not fit in the disk trays properly with the changes in positions of screw holes.
The Hard Disk Compatibility List (Legacy > ReadyNAS 2100) shows disks up to 3TB in capacity.
