Does anyone know if there is a 2Tb limit for hard disks on the DM8000?

Reason I ask is I want to know the limit for using an external HDD in NTFS format. I am currently using a 2Tb drive without any problems but can the newer 3Tb and 4Tb drives be used with the dreambox?

Regards

Looks like I can (finally) answer my own question!

Just got a Seagate 4Tb USB 3.0 external drive. Dreambox recognises it as 3.6Tb after plugging in so looks like all is well. Yet to test it with any data/files though.

Missed your first post.
There is a 2TB HDD limit for SATA drives
If your external drive is working - go with it; but it might fail!
