I maxed out at 6Gb on the CISCO 16LNSS6000 using 4 x the Seagate 1.5Tb. Apparently there is a firmware option for me to increase that limit to 7.5Tb also ( which i cant utilize anyways because there is no mainstream hdd big enough for me to exceed my current limit ).

Qnap are a great brand with great products. We deal with their products at work and i enjoy working with Qnap products. Qnap offer great value for money compared to simular products from other companies, yes such as my Cisco 16LNSS6000 which cost me over $2000au some time ago.
