ReadyNAS Ultra 4 newly upgraded to 6.9.5 from OS4 and need question answered.

I apologize for posting a question I know has been answered in here, however I read the post about a month ago and I have been unsuccessful relocating the post for the past few days.

 

I recently upgraded my Ultra 4 from OS4 to OS6 and loaded all my data back onto it and everything is working great, thank you all for the many helpful threads here on that.  I have 4 x 3TB drives in it and I am looking to expand it, but I am unsure how big I can go from here.  Originally I was thinking I would be starting from the 4 x 1TB that I had initially, however I believe since I had to reset everything for the OS6 upgrade that I am starting from that point now instead.  So I'm thinking I still have my full 8TB expansion limit available?  So my question really is, what is the largest I can upgrade too from this point?

 

Thanks!

    OS 6 doesn't have any expansion limits :smileyhappy:

      Thank you StephenB,

       

      So the thread I read  about 8TiB over lifetime volume growth does not apply with OS6?  That is great news!

        Correct.  Neither does the other expansion limit with OS 4.2 (not being able to expand a volume over 16 TiB).
