USB Formatting Capacity Limit
Hello guys, Quick help pls? Running OS 6.1.1 1 - I have a USB 3.0 to SATA Dual-Bay USB 3.0 Hard Drive Docking Station attached to my NAS which was previously with two 3TB disks and now that I remove one of the 4TB from the NAS and replace it by an 8TB I want to "upgrade" the docking and replace one of the 3TB by the 4TB disk I have removed from the NAS. I did that already and after formatted using the Frontview NFTS option, it only shows 2TB as a maximum capacity. It only shows the full capacity (3.6TB) If I chose to format it on my PC before and then plug it in the docking station. 2 - Tried Ext3 and Ext4 and even less capacity is showing (512 MB) 3 - Based on the above should I then format it in Windows before plug it or is there anything I'm missing? 4 - Last but not least does anyone knows if Netgear is planning to allows us to change the USB drives names?Right now is always USB_HDD_2, USB_HDD_3 and so on. Thanks, Joao3.3KViews0likes8Comments
