I have a 1 TB drive and a 2 TB drive configured as standard drives, i.e., individual drives, no RAID.

The DNS 320 sees the 2 TB correctly and everything works perfectly on this drive.

However, the DNS 320 doesn't let me access the entire 1 TB drive even though it sees it as a 1 TB drive.

Here's the run down:

1) System Management -> Hard Drive Info sees the 1 TB drive drive:

Volume Name   Volume_1
Volume Type   standard
Total Hard Drive Capacity   982420 MB
Used Space   42111 MB
Unused Space   940309 MB

2) Approx. 52 GB are on the disk.  When I try to copy 30 GB more onto it, I get the following error message:

"There is not enough space on Volume_1.  You need an addityional 51.6 GB to copy these files"

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Everyone,

I just want update my post.

First I'm on 2.02 firmware & using Windows 8.  Both drives on the DNS 320 are configured as standard drives.

To get the DNS 320 to recognize and read/write to the entire 1 TB drive I had to map it & give it a drive letter.  Now it works perfectly!  Who knew?

I also solved my problem with accessing the recycle bin, which was that it never seemed to store my deleted files.  I would see it on the drive ($RECYCLE.BIN) but it never seemed to store any deleted files.  So I tried mapping it too and now it works!!  I see my deleted files, I can empty the bin and I can restore them!!  Again, who knew that one has to map the the recycle bin to a drive letter? 

Happiness has returned  .
