[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 997706, member: 325666"] The QNAP is 21tb .. and the reason I bought it really .. the readynas doesn't natively address such large hard drives ...hence the upgraded hardware.. My readynas is populated with 4x 4tb ..giving about 12tb of useable space .. both units are effectively raid 5 (though readynas calls it Xraid) In combo ...I have over 30tb on 2 units..now. :D What I really like about the QNAP is that you can add more 'dumb' drive bays connected via usb3 and expand further with 'full' integration not adding a seperate raid .. (though they do 'recommend' seperate volumes..single volume expansion should only really be attempted _before_ the data is added) hope that makes sense..
