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.
