Looks really good. So many Raid options., |

The review says "up to 3 TB of storage" several times, but the final summary says "more than 3TB". Is there a 3TB limit on this, even though it can hold 5TB of drives? Is the limit a storage size limit (so, 4x1TB drives in RAID 5 = 3TB effective storage), or a maximum addressable disk space. I'm assuming that there really isn't any actual limit at all, and that it's just marketing-miscommunication, as it obviously runs linux, and I haven't heard of any such limits. |

You caught us mid-edit there. Thecus wrote to say the unit supports up to 5TB with the latest firmware, so we updated the article. |
