ReadyNAS 3200 v1 - What is the MAX storage?
Before I start to search for replacements, which I prefer not to do.....What is the max this box can handle? I inherited two of these.
ReadyNAS 3200 v1
RAIDiator 4.2.27
4096 MB [DDR2]
12 - 2TB (ST32000644NS) Set in Raid6
I would like to buy 24 - 4TB drives for them but cannot find anything stating that 4.2.27 support 4tb drives (or possibly 6tb).
Thanks in advance!!!

- Hi mike18353,
The maximum capacity of the drive that ReadyNAS 3200 supports is just up to 2TB. Kindly refer to the compatibility list of hard drives on this link below:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641 - The first four drive bays can take larger disks (though we don't support that) however drive bays 5-12 are limited to 2TB per disk.
Also note that 4.2.x has some expansion limitations. You cannot expand past 16TB is one. So doing a factory default with the disks In place, choosing Flex-RAID, deleting the default volume and creating the volumes you want would be the way to go.
Our new models the 3220 and 4220 support higher capacity disks in all drive bays and run OS6 which doesn't have the expansion limitations that 4.2.x has.
Welcome to the forum! - Thank you guys, I really appreciate the quick and final response. Amazing that 16TB is too small. I guess my only choice is to re-configure for more space and make sure I have a good replication.
Again, Thanks!!!
