Ok. Then the largest disks it can handle are 2 TB. You can set it up as flexraid to get 4 TB total space with two disks.
There are two ways to do that- one is "jbod" where you have a C volume and a D volume that are independent. The second way is to use a single RAID-0 volume that spans both disks.
Jbod is safer - if a disk fails with jbod, you only lose what was stored on that disk. With the single RAID-0 volume you lose everything.
Details on installing flexraid are here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... 6Dec11.pdf
You will need to do a factory reset (losing your config and all your data).
