ReadyNAS NV+ v2 and 4 x 3TB Drives

I have a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 running RAIDiator 5.3.7. I have 3 x 3TB drives currently and I have ~5.4TB capacity now. If I add another 3TB drive, will I get 8.4TB ~ 9TB or will I hit the 8GB limit? I believe I started with 2 x 3TB and then I added another 3TB to make it 5.4TB ~ 6TB.

    di niro - OP started with a 3 TB volume [2x3TB]. So he shouldn't hit the expansion limit at 4x3TB (9-3=6).

    Do you have information suggesting that the 2x3TB was not the starting point? Or did you misread the original post?

    Also, why are you suggesting that OP move to beta firmware?
