Can I get more than 16TB capacity hard disk as second slot ?

[andy8]

Hello,

I currently have only one IronWolf Pro 16TB Hard disk on my Asustor AS5304T.

I am planning to expand the storage, but unsure what the max capacity would be possible for my second slot
on the NAS. Would anything above 16TB space be possible ? For example 18TB or 20TB ?

IronWolf Pro provides 18TB and 20TB variants, hence, I am considering if it would be possible to go for highest capacity possible.

Thanks !

20TB should be the possible https://www.asustor.com/services/hd?ser ... 0TB&class=

Great, thanks for letting me know. I will get the higher spec-one. Thanks !

Just to check, do you know why the following website, says something like:

The AS5304T supports up to 72 TB, enabling storage of large live streams and videos.

https://www.asustor.com/en/product?p_id=62

I was assuming that because the page says up to 72 TB, it may only be possible to have max 18TB per slot ?
Do you have any suggestion or reason behind this ? Thanks

I guess it was updated only that time when 18TB was just made available. Now the compatibility list states 20TB with the required ADM version. You can contact Asustor Support to confirm.

Interesting, thanks, I'll try double confirming and will update the forum once I get an update. Thanks !

Hello,

Just to confirm that I've checked with Asustor Customer service and they have confirmed that IronWolf Pro 20TB works with
Asustor model AS5304T.

Previously, it was only said that this model supports up to 16TB, but now it goes up to 20TB.
