NAS326 with 18TB 4kn HDD?

difluss

Hi there,

has anybody already tried NAS326 with 18TB 4kn discs (Toshiba MG09 series)? Is it possible to get it work?

No experience with the 326, but I know the 5xx has a filesystem limit of 16TiB. (Due to ext limits). The 54x with it's 4 disks can easily exceed that, and because of that it has an option to create more than one filesystem per volume.

Don't know if the 326 has the same option. If not, maybe you can't use the last 370GB (18TB ~ 16.37TiB), or worse, the system will fail in creating a filesystem.

It would be safer to stick to 16TB disks.
