Will this support dual 1.5T drives? Ok, is there a HD size limit on the DNS-323?

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0

I have a 2TB HDD connected to a Netgear router. According to the literature, the 2TB is the upper limit of what can be supported with a direct connection to a router. You should, however, be able to connect the 3TB unit directly to your PC. I had read where Windows now takes storage units greater then 2TB. That said, I'd do a search with BING or GOOGLE to verify that or, perhaps, talk to somebody at BEST BUY or similar.Good luck!

Hi Are you looking for a dual boot between Debian and pfSense, or just Debian? I would have to check w/ an engineer based on your answer to insure there is enough room on the 2Gb DOM. If there is not you can upgrade the drive to a 2.5" SATA spinning or SSD.

Well I didn't try that but am sure its not support any hdd Thicer than 9.5 mm so not possible even to try any hdd more than 1 tb as it should be more Thicke than 9.5 mm

If it specifies the capacity (eg, 2TB, 4TB) then yes. It can definitely handle up to two 2TB drives, unsure about the newer larger drives. Otherwise is should say "diskless".

I have not tried. I have tried upto 1tb. If your drive has external power supply i dont see why should there be a problem. However i think i read somewhere that it supports upto 1tb. Anyways i found this product super useful.

According to the manual; it can accommodate 2TB. I would think, as long as the interface format was correct(SATA), the capacity capability would depend on how much room the drive required(is there physical room in the HD230 for a 3-4TB hard drive). Look into Solid State Drives. If you can find one with that capacity; it will be physically smaller than an optical drive.

Hi RacerX, maximum supported HDD capacity that can be installed is 2TB. Thanks, PCrush

Yes, some 4T drives are supported. Hard disk compatibility can be searched for any of their units on their web site: http://www.synology.com/support/hd.php

The manual doesn't say. I used a 1TB drive and it worked fine. You can add 2 external drives, but no mention of size limit there. You can map it as a network drive, so you can move content back and forth that way, but slower ofc.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

Netgear does not list the maximum size usb hard drive supported in the manual. I would think you should be able to get anything up to 3 TB to work if the hard drive is from one of the major manufacturers of hard drives. WD, Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba. It will most likely depend on the firmware of the individual drives whether it works or not.

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

I know nothing about the 2TB one. I bought the 3TB and that has been the first one I purchased from Micronet. So far, it works fine.

BE CAREFUL! this router DOES NOT support 3T hard drives, since it only works with MBR partitions, and HDs with over 2T are GPT. Im having this problem with my WD 3T external HD, and im trying to contact TP, to see if there is any alternative to partitioning MBR (id loose about 1T of disk space thus transforming a 3T HD into 2T)Hope this helps

I used 4TB Drives from WDC and Seagate, they work fine. I don't know if 5TB drive would work or not.

The 8300HD depends on the software on the box. I have heard 8300HDs will support 1TB drives, but that was a while back so I don't know the true limit. It all comes down to what OS it uses.
