Can anyone confirm a few things for me regarding the EX470?

What is the total hard drive space it can handle including internal and external drives?
What is the total internal hard drive space it can handle?
Can it handle internal drives with a capacity of 1.5 or 2TB?

Thanks!

I think, theoretically, 262TB based on 2TB drives. That's based on 4 internal + 4 eSATA + 127 USB drives @ 2TB each. Obviously something else probably breaks or overloads in this equation before you hit that, but there's at least one person on this forum that has 20TB on his MSS.

8TB if you swap out the system drive. Otherwise, 6.5TB, again assuming 2TB drives.

Yes, I have both in my EX470.

Well, ok, sure -- if you want to talk about facts. :lol:

So....64TB, then.

Don't get me wrong, I was totally digging your 262TB plan, I just didn't want the OP to run out and buy a 127-port USB hub... ;)
