I recently came across a new Buffalo TerraStation PRO II TS-H2.0TGL/R5 and would build like to it out with 4x 3tb drives. I want use it to store pictures, videos and music. The product page specifies that the max total size the NAS is capable of is 2tb running 4x 500gb drives. I spent a lot of time searching the internet for someone that has used larger drives in this model and couldn't really find much. I really don't expect anyone to be familiar with this exact model, but just in general; would larger disks likely be compatible? 2tb? 3tb?

This is the old newegg product page for the device.

I note this old thread is resolved - although tripledouce uses 2TB drives in the terastation 3, your machine is a Terastation 2. Did you successfully install the drives? I have the same NAS box and desperately need to extend!

For future searchers.

I have been running 4x 2TB WD Green (WD20EURS) in my TS-H2.0TGL/R5 for 2/3 years.

From the research I did at the time, I would expect any 2TB sata disk to work.
I have a feeling that I might be able to get bigger disks in it, which is why I have stumbled upon this thread

edit
I was wrong. 2TB is the largest sata for this unit.
