2.5 TB and 3.0 TB drives

I see there are 2.5 and 3.0 TB drives coming onto the market. 
Will the DNS-323 be able to handle these or is it topped out at 2 TB?

Put another way, will I have to purchase another 'box' to handle such drives? 


BTW:  I have not really got my head around the topic of 4kB blocks of the latest 2 TB hard disks - I have a 2 TB 4k, but it does not seem to be any different to other discs I have.   
AND: Understood the next firmware update is planned for 3Q2010 (two thousand and ten) and I guess a firmware change of some sort would be needed to accommodate these drives

Re: 2.5 TB and 3.0 TB drives

Dlink, along with numerous other manufacturers, have issues with supporting drives over 2TB as indicated in their announcements. Whether or not this can be addressed in a firmware update is unknown at this time.


3 * (DNS-323 with 2 * 2TB) = 12TB Running FW v1.08 & FFP v0.5

Re: 2.5 TB and 3.0 TB drives

Is there a hope to at least fix the 4K issue for RAID? Nowadays all disks come with 4K. I want to put 2T disks in my DNS323, and I cannot find disks without 4K sectors anymore...
