I'm assuming you mean TB everywhere.
2 TB drives are the limit, but you can configure the RAID.
JBOD (4 volumes of 2 TB each) is the safest way to get 8 TB of storage, but it will require you to manually balance the data across the 4 volumes. 7.5 TB total data might make that difficult to do. With JBOD, if a disk fails you only lose what's on the disk.
RAID-0 (1 volume of 8 TB) is the other option. That eliminates the need to balance, but it is quite fragile. If any disk fails, you lose everything.
Both options require you to switch to "flexraid". Read pages 19-23 of the user manual (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... 6Dec11.pdf)
