ReadyNAS 102 8TB Max
Hi guys
I have a question about the max size for my new NAS. I see on the tech spec that it is listed to support up to 8TB Max. I can only put in 2x4TB drives? I see there are 6TB drives on the market today and am wondering if I would have to get a different NAS model to support this, or will there be a firmware update to increase the max storage capacity.
What would happen if I were to put in 2x6TB drives?

- Well, when the time comes you could potentially buy another RN102 and two more 4 TB disks - and split your storage across two devices.
So there are lots of options. StephenB wrote: Well, when the time comes you could potentially buy another RN102 and two more 4 TB disks - and split your storage across two devices.

You know what, after playing around with the Netgear 102 device, I learned of all the power it has. I did not know it could do half the stuff that it does, so I decided I needed a bigger device. Today I returned the 102, for a 104. With the 4 bay box I should have much more capacity to accomplish the tasks that I would like to do.
