I'm trying to install a WD Caviar Green 3TB drive in my EX495 but it shows up a having only 765 GB capacity. How can I get it to recognize it as a 3TB drive?

Adding a 3TB drive is not supported. You can get it to work if you follow these instructions. I added a WD 3TB drive to my WHSv1 Microserver using the RocketRAIDS card that came with the drive and these instructions.
