Is There A Maximum HDD Size For The RN628X?
The online Netgear list only goes up to 16TB drives. Has anyone tried using an 18TB or 20TB drive yet?

Actually there is one 18 TB drive on the list. Though they are slow at testing, and any non-SMR NAS-purposed or Enterprise class disk should work.
There is post from last November from Hawk321 who reported using two different 18 TB models in an RN104: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/RN104-18-TB-HDDs/m-p/2159036
There was also post a couple weeks ago from SamirD who reported successfully installing an 18 TB WDC disk in their Ultra (running 4.2.28). Though he was only using 12 TB of the capacity (he mirrored a 12 TB drive).
