Hello guys.

I have a doubt, what is the max hard drive capacity for these boards? Im planing to buy at least a 4TB WD green for storage, the thing is, they now have 6TB drives and im not sure is they are suported by the standard OS´s and motherboards.

I dont wanna buy a 6TB drive if then it will ony recknonize less capacity.

Sorry for the bad write. Thanks

If you buy a 4TB HDD when you set it up, you will need to format it using GPT and not MBR as MBR can only address 2.2TB HDD size as a maximum. GPT on the other hand can address up to 9.4ZB of storage space.

9.4ZB = 9,444,732,965,739,290,427,392 bytes :eek: :cool:
