1TB Drives in an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+

I’ve been eyeing the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ system to solve my ever-expanding appetite for storage space. I know the device can handle four 750GB drives for a total of 2.25 TB of space (RAID5), but can it handle four 1TB drives for a total of 3 TB of space? 1TB drives are expensive, but I can start out with two, and use their “RAID-X” technology to add new ones ones prices drop a bit. Has anyone done this? Does the system support drives that big?

    From what I gather from the Infrant website and forums, a simple firmware update is all that is required to support the 1 TB hard drives.

    Thanks, Steven! I’m not ready to get one right now, so hopefully the firmware update will be available in a few months.
