Hi,

We have a HS-DH4.0TGL/R5 (firmware 2.14) configured as a RAID5 which makes 2.7TB once formated. Just in case we bought a Seagate 3TB extenal hard drive (STBV3000100, latest firmware) to have a copy of the NAS' data.

The problem is that the NAS can only format 734.79 GB in ETX3 format. Formatting in XFS takes a couple of minutes and gives 0 GB of disk space ...

Is there a USB external drive capacity limitation on this model ?

Thanks
Simon Glet
