i need the full 4 Tb of drive space on the drive. and a New drive i got that i intend to hook up to the other USB port is 8Tb and I need the space for backups for the system that is connected to that as well. Can anyone confirm or deny that the disk/partition limit is still 2Tb for RAXE routers?
I have got an 8TB Seagate and a 4TB WD drive working just fine in ReadySHARE in Windows 11.
ReadySHARE even supports two extra drives plugged into the Seagate's USB ports.
Did your research find this?

I actually already have SMB 1.x enabled as i have a windows 98SE, a windows XP and a Windows 7 system on my network. the 98, and XP systems are isolated from the internet, but I do use them to transfer files back and forth over the internal network, so SMB 1.x is needed when my Win10 and win11 systems are involved. I don't even bother using netgears readyconnect software, as the drives are mappable from within windows (when things are working properly),=. maybe i should give it a shot? my only concern is if the software will work with my backup software ReBit Pro. Rebit software is able to find and connect to the drives over the network, until the router start wigging out. then of course, EVERYTHING loses it's connection to the router. if i turn off SMB 1.x in win11, how would i use filesharing, windows networking, and so on with the older systems?
one last note: after a recent firmware update I noticed i immediately started having internet issues. turns out for some reason the DHCP option on the router had gotten turned off during the update. turning the routers DHCP option back on immediately restored internet. don't know why the DHCP got turned off.
