8TB drives in pro 6?
I'd like to get two 8TB drives and shove them in my Pro 6 running OS6... any reason why I couldn't? I can get two for $279 a piece from newegg business: http://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/p ....

The internal drive is ST8000AS0002, so maybe keep a price watch on that.

I'm wasn't meaning to imply that you shouldn't give them a try, I was just following up on the potential downslde.
One option is to deploy them as jbod, and use them for fairly lightweight tasks (video streaming or perhaps backup).
