Time Machine 2tb limit?
Hi! I tested the ReadyNAS Pro equipped with 6tb. We (ad agency) are planning to use it with TimeMachine to backup our desktop macs. I wanted to use the maximum capacity, which is 4607GB, for TM, b...
Yes, unless you are using iSCSI or TM it shouldn't be a problem, but when we purchased it they weren't disclosing the limit and by the time they did in April of 2009 it was too late to return it. And they've been promising a fix since.
It is completely unprofessional of any company to do that and if they want to be taken seriously they need to commit and then follow through.

4.2.6 was a ReadyNas 3200 only release. So it may support 2TB+ Time Machine volumes already. I don't know. I'm not sure when NetGear will implement a fix to remove that limit. Apart from iSCSI targets and the Time Machine functionality, the limit shouldn't be a problem for most people.
Personally, I don't backup that much with Time Machine and 2TB is way more than I need at the moment, but I would like to see that restriction lifted. I store most of my very large files on a NAS as its primary storage.
