There's no known limit, so you could use 14 TB (which is the largest disk currently available).
FWIW, 4-bay 4.2 systems using XRAID could go up to 5 TB drives (15 TB volume size).

Ok, everything is clear to me, thanks!!
I have already downloaded the prep firmware and the OS 6.x firmware that you have indicated to me.
I am activating to upgrade the memory to 2Mb.
Only one last clarification: if the ugrade to OS6.x goes wrong, it will be possible with adequate procedure, to return to version 4.x?
Today I will open a new tread because I need some clarifications on the use of the encryption feature that OS6.x should have.
Eventually we feel on the new tread.
Thanks again and congratulations for your competence and professionalism and for patience in following me in this upgrade. Bob

If the upgrade works correctly, you can revert to 4.2 firmware.
If the upgrade goes wrong, then it depends on what fails I guess.
