Have anybody installed 3TB drive in 485/487? Can the system recognize the full capacity. Please share your experience and guide me on any special software installation to recognize the full 3TB. I have listed below the part #s.

Thank you Alex. It looks like my 485 cannot recognize more than 2TB. I am running 2003 OS. |

Might as well ask this in even if a bit OT, internally, WHS v1 can't see the 3tb drives... BUT can they see the whole 3TB thru USB? Like plugging in a WD My Book Essential 3TB drive? It would work perfectly for me as a backup drive. |

No, its a limitation on the underlying OS and not the MSS so the disk would be partitioned at 2.1TB. You would need to go Vail if you want more than 2.1TB |

I have 2 3TB drives that are recognized in my HP EX495 running WHS V1. It was tricky, but I got them working. Had to format them on a Windows 7 PC as GPT disks and format them with NTFS and they are able to be added to the drive pool. |

I have 5 x Hitachi 3TB drives in my Synology. They are working well so far. They are the lower RPM model. |
