Buffalo LinkStation LS-WX2.0TL/R1-EU

I have above given model of LS, on the box states 2TB, so it is supposed to be the model that can support upto 2TB storage.
I currently have one 160GB and one 250GB hard disk installed and it is working fine (Thanks a lot to user oxygen8 on another forum).

I was thinking about replacing it with a larger hard disk. my questions therefore are:
1- What if I install 1 HD of 2TB capacity?
usually I believe it should work fine when it the only drive. but I guess it is better to ask.

2- Does that means it will only support the storage of 2TB?
What if I install 2TB on one side and keep one of the currently in use drives?

3- What if I insert a drive that is let's 3TB storage, what can possibly happen?

1. It will work on a disk upto 8TB.
2. Depends, are you using a RIAD setup at all? If not then the other disk will be unaffected.
3. See answer to Q1.
