I have a Link Station and after a recent nic failure and drive swapping to a used box I got on eBay, backup is a very high priority.
My current setup is 4 TB raid 5 (so about 3 TB storage). I bought a nice 3 TB external USB drive and plugged it in. I have the option to format it, the format ran, and all seemed well. Then I went to backup. It just keeps failing. When I go to look at the drive specs it shows the size as unknown. In searching the forums I have found threads saying there is a size limit, others saying that the newest firmware fixes that and others saying there is no file limit. Which is correct? Am I stuck with an extra 3 TB drive, and if so what size can I use that will still work?
