Title: 3TB drive?
Post by: michaeljc70 on November 21, 2012, 11:32:49 AM

Has anyone tried one?  I have a Seagate Barracuda on the way. I know the specs say 2TB max.

Another point to note. The factory default firmware in the DNS-320 does NOT support 3TB HDDs. You will need to upgrade to the latest firmware for 3TB HDD support.

I bought two Seagate Barracuda 7200 3 TB 7200RPM SATA 6 and after doing the firmware update they work. I created a Raid 1 and it comes out to about 2.68 TB of working space.
