Rebel Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just acquired 3TB disks but preclear disk only sees them as 806G, anyone got any insights? Wondering if it's coz they are in external caddy (no free interfaces, these disks are for upgrades / future spare replacements..

John_M Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 External caddies? No free interfaces? How are they connected - USB? It looks like the Preclear plugin is seeing 3 - 2.2 = 0.8 TB where 2.2 TB is a known limitation. If you're using a USB connection it's probably a limitation of the bridge chip in the caddy. Do you have any more information on this caddy? 1 Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This really belongs in plugin support as the pre-clear plugin you are referencing isn't built into the OS natively. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah it's connected via a 2 port USB caddy, it's interesting as I've had large disks in there before but not on the NAS before and honestly can't remember if I'd tried a disk this big before, all the SATA ports are in use, as these disks were purchased to be upgrades / spares and I was planning on preclearing them before putting them in the cupboard for when the oldest disks die.

Sorry, you are right, I've been using it that long I forgot that it wasn't a native 6 tool. Quote Link to comment
