ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List
ReadyNAS Device Compatibility List can be found here. Edited March 27, 2009.
On any NAS expansion of an existing volume requires redundancy. So getting maximum space requires giving up on xraid, and using either jbod or spanning RAID-0. Spanning RAID-0 is fragile, since if any disk fails you lost the entire volume. With jbod, every disk is its own volume, and if it fails you need to insert a new disk, create a new volume and then restore the data from a backup.

I think you mean TBs. But that question we've already answered. The technical limit is the 16 TiB volume size, which is not really about RAID or low level formatting. As far as I'm concerned they should be putting the larger disks on the HCL for the 100 series, and just be clear on the volume limit.
albertoita wrote: I asked it because on the NETGEAR Support / Hardware Compatibility List Hard Disks I don't find drive greater that 4 GBytes. So I would like to know, if they are not present because they don't be recognized by the hardware, or because they are not supported on a RAID configuration.
It was announced at CES earlier this month. I don't recall seeing an availability date, but usually it happens within 3 months of announcement.
