3TB HD into ReadyNas Duo v1
With reference to the following post https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/3TB-drive-compatibility/td-p/773594 (I cannot comment anymore), I understand there's no way to make my 3TB drive working with my old readynas DUO v1. Actually the drive works, but while the system cannot read 3GB, it cannot see 2TB neither... it seems only 750MB are available. Is there any way to have it working at least as 2GB ?
Thank you.

3TB disks are compatible with all our newer models, but not with Sparc models such as the Duo v1. The Sparc models lack GPT support.
Newer models use a different OS and RAID format and our current models use a different filesystem so you can't simply move the disk across it would need to be wiped by the new ReadyNAS.2TB disks are the max capacity supported by our Sparc models, so the max you can use in the Duo v1 are 2x2TB disks.
Thank you all for answering.
