Hi,

According to this, the maximum on the compatibility list is 16TB. Does not mean it won’t work, but you know, “it’s your fault not ours”, warranty, guaranty, software, climate change and all that stuff

Datasheets/compatibility lists for "older" NAS are out of date. In reality, there are no limits to drive size, only to the maximum volume capacity.

Volume size is generally dependent on the processor (32-bit vs 64-bit, with 32-bit limited to 16TB) and RAID size is just whatever the NAS physically supports (and that increases over time as new HDDs are made available).
