Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
As far as I can tell the officially largest supported drives for the readynas nv+ are 1TB at present. Is this likely to increase as larger drives are released?

Re: Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
Yes. If the NV+ has the latest firmware, it supports drives well in excess of 1TB. I have installed 1.5TB drives in an NV+ without a problem.
I see the FAQ hasn't been updated, but I believe that 8TB drives are theoretically supported.

Re: Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
The ReadyNAS can handle up to 64TB per volume. Who knows when disks come out like 8TB to get near this limit.

Re: Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
2 TB drives are officially released by WD--not Seagate, surprisingly--as of yesterday:

I would love to upgrade my greenpower drives to these drives once they make the compatibility list! thx!

Re: Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
Anythoughts on a new update to this thread? 4.1.8 just came out but it is saying that one of the limitations is drives bigger than 2tbs are not supported.....

Re: Ready Nas NV+ maximum drive sizes
This is a very old dead thread from close to 3 years ago and there are several newer ones.
There is no GPT support for Sparc as 3rd party kernel development for Sparc stopped well before GPT support was added. Hence drives larger than 2TB in capacity are not supported. This is highly unlikely to change.
