Greetings
I write you to solve a possible confusion between us and a provider.
To grow usable size in one of running FreeNAS servers, I asked a provider if it is possible to replace 4TB drives with 8TB ones.
They expressed doubts about built in controller support of 8TB drives. And offering to build a new server instead.
But I found no supporting evidence of either existence or absence of such limitation.
The system is based on Supermicro X9SCL/X9SCM.
Could someone tell from experience, if X9SCL/X9SCM built-in SATA would work with 8TB, 10TB, + drives?
P.S. To be absolutely clear, C202/204 RAID capability is on no way not used.
