Disk Availability beyond the Volume Limitation

Post by Kenny »

Hi,

I am using AS-202TE with a JBOD volume of 2x8TB(=16TB) HDDs.
Though I know that the volume limit is 16TB on 32-bit system, I want to know what will happen if disk sizes are larger than the limitation (e.g. 2x10TB = 20TB).

1) Only a single volume (16TB) is available. The remaining 4TB is ignored or unrecognized.
2) A single volume (16TB) is available and the remaining 4TB is also available as the second volume.
3) The system cannot recognize larger HDDs at all. No volume is allocated.

I believe that should be case-1.

Thank you for your reply.

Since the disk space is exhausting, I also asked the technical support. He said that it would behave as the case-1.
Well, I have to plan to buy a newer NAS.
