Hello, good morning from Spain.

My sincere congratulations to the Kobol and Helios64 team. A really good and well designed product. I have a question about the compatibility of a hard drive with the Helios64 NAS.

 

My hard drive is --->  https://www.senetic.es/product/0F38459  <--- ( Wd Ultrastar 18TB)

With a capacity of 18TB, my question is:

 

Is that hard drive (18TB) compatible with the Nas Helios64?

I think that in the Nas Helios64 technical description, it only accepts a maximum capacity of 16 Tb hard drives

 

 

Thank you very much for the information and help.

Angel,

Most SATA drives should work out of the box - it's possible that at the time when the specs were written the Kobol team only had access to drives up to 16TB in size.

18TB drives should be no problem for modern filesystems (EXT4,XFS, ZFS, etc.) - The only real issue you might have would be the power drawn from the power supply at startup.

Give it a try - connect the drive into the NAS and it should be listed as a device with the command 'lsblk'.
