Hey guys,

I was wondering, is 2TB the max for each hard drive in an ex485?

Thank you!

2TB is the largest sized drive you can buy on the market today, so, practically speaking, 2TB is the limit.

Looking beyond practical at theoretical, I imagine there's going to be (at a minimum) problems if you try to replace your main OS drive with something > 2TB since that gets into the whole MBR vs. GPT thing. I'd be surprised if there are any significant limitations on data drives > 2TB, but that's just speculation on my part.

Thank you Kurt!

Thinking on maxing out my ex485 with four 2TB drives, they're cheap on newegg....

thanks again!
