1. Does that limit also apply to external USB drives? i.e. if I have 4 x 1TB installed in NV+, giving approx 2.8Gb usable, and I need to backup to a USB drive I need a 3Gb disk... with it work on an NV+?
2. For drives in a NV+ X-RAID array is 2Gb a hardware limit or a software limit? (i.e. any likelihood the limit can or will be removed)

OK I have my answer to 1. its no unfortunately... so if you put in 4x 1TB or 1.5TB drives you can't back them up to a single USB drive - disappointing - http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=46175#p299584
Whats the answer to #2?
