    I have a 500Gb iomega nas drive, would I be able to replace the current drive and put a 2Tb drive in its place as an upgrade.

    Check the "Change Notes" on the lastest firmware for the unit.
    I know alot of the devices can not access above either 1TB or 1.5TB depending on the controller chipset.

    Well it did not work, the nas drive would no recognize the 2tb drive when I installed it. However there was a usb port on the back of the nas drive where I was able to plug in the external drive and then map it.
