ReadyNAS Pro Biz Edition upgrade from 6X2TB to ?
I have a 2009 ReadyNAS Pro Biz Edition that has six 2TB drives and it is running RAIDiator 4.2.22. I haven't had it on for awhile and quit using it because it filled up. I have a couple 3TB drives ...

Still not getting the math. at 14TB I already subtracted a full 4TB drive for redundancy. Then what is the additional 1.3TB being taken away?
14 TB and 12.7 TiB are the same amount of actual space, just reported using different units. Drive manufacturers always use TB. The NAS uses TiB, but calls it TB (as does Windows).
1 TB = 1000*1000*1000*1000 bytes
1 TiB = 1024*1024*1024*1024 bytes
To convert 14 TB to TiB, the formula is
14*(1000/1024)*(1000/1024)*(1000/1024)*(1000/1024) = 12.7 TiB.
There are similar mismatches for GB /GiB and MB/MiB.
Hi guys..
I'm running a Pro biz edition on 6.5.0 and its running more or less perfect.
Started on the thread linked earlier and followed the instructions. Worked perfectly.
I have a question: which is the max space i can use with leagacy nas and os6.5.0?
i'm running 6x3TB drives today which where present when i upgraded to os 6 the first time.

Hi viperhansa,
Which Legacy ReadyNAS are you using?
Kind regards,

There are no known expansion limits with OS 6.5. There are some rack-mount legacy x86 NAS that can't handle GPT formatting in some slots. But since you have 3 TB installed already, you don't have those.
So at the moment you could go to 6x8TB if you wanted to. In practice the resync time might be a problem, especially if you use dual-redundancy.
