Ok, Here is my problem, I recently got my hands on 2x 4TB hard drives that I had intended using with my current 2 bay raid enclosure ( upgrading it from 2TB ) However, when I installed the drives, it appears that the enclosure will only support up to 2.2 TB and not the 8 that is currently installed.

Ok,

Here is my problem, I recently got my hands on 2x 4TB hard drives that I had intended using with my current 2 bay raid enclosure ( upgrading it from 2TB ) However, when I installed the drives, it appears that the enclosure will only support up to 2.2 TB and not the 8 that is currently installed.

So I need to get either a new HD enclosure that supports Firewire 800 or a NAS that can handle higher capacity drives such as the ones I have, either 2 or 4 bay as I have the option for another 2 of the 4TB drives should I need them.

Looking on my usual suppliers sites, I can't see much to wet my appetite.

Any suggestions?
