[QUOTE="icarusi, post: 657474, member: 308359"] I got a 1TB drive today. I wasn't sure if the P+ could use 1TB directly and at first it seemed not to, but I think it just needs time to 'sense' the whole drive. The 'Swissknife' partitioning/formatting software I used previously no longer works with 1TB drives, 500Gb seems to be the limit, so I tried Easeus Home Edition (free) and formatted to four 250Gb NTFS partitions. I then reformatted the first partition to FAT32 and tried it on the P+. Previously the P+ wouldn't accept any additional partitions (or at least with the partition/format software I tried previously), but it seems ok with the Easeus and/or this current P+ firmware. I intend to use the 1TB drive as a general backup/archive drive for a couple of PCs as well as the P+, so when I've backed-up the P+ 500Gb drive (which I only formatted to 125Gb FAT32) I'll try reformatting that to 250 FAT32 and 250 NTFS with Easeus. AFAIK FAT32 with theoretically work up to 2TB but I wouldn't fancy losing that amount of data in one partition. [/QUOTE]
