Upgrade from 2TB drives to 4TB

[alxxer]

Hi my current setup is 8x 2TB drives in a pool. They are mirrored and stripped. Can I replace the them with 4 TB drives?

it looks like this:



STORAGE
mirror
ad0
ad1
mirror
ad2
ad3
mirror
ad4
ad5
mirror
ad6
ad7

Thanks

I depends whether your controller supports 4TB disks.

I depends whether your controller supports 4TB disks.

I'm using the 6 motherboard ports from an ASUS M4A88T-M LE
the northbridge is a 880G, and the Southbridge is a SB710
With a 4 port Syba SATA controller SIL3124 chipset.

I'd look up those controllers and see if anyone has said if 4TB drives are supported.

if the HBA is sata3, it should go. If you need also more performance with more capacity, consider to add another pair of mirror instead changing the drives.
