just one simple question XR500

[WacoJohn]

I purchased XR500 for one particular reason ... I can attach an 8TB USB hard drive to it.  I love it.  Works great.

Just purchased another Western Digital 10TB (got a good deal.  it has not arrived yet).

The question is will it go with the router pretty much just as the 8TB has??

Thanks in advance.

Ouch. Thats a tough one. Its basically going to be plug it in and see if it works. i haven't had much luck past 4tb with externals so the fact that your 8tb works is excellent. Here's is the confirmed devices. I'd like to tell you for certain but some on here have had issues even with the confirmed devices.

Hmmm.  Not so simple a question, huh?  Thank you for the answer.  I see clearly it is not a simple answer.  I have a Gearhead account.  I will check with them.  Still waiting for the new drive to arrive.  Thank you.  Good answer.
