Greeting all ... I'm looking to upgrade my '10TB Hard Drive' for my Z2000 Pro and was wondering how big I can go without issues? I'd like to go with a 20TB Western Digital UltraStar if possible?
yep. first thing in google. "Z2000 Pro" https://www.zidoo.tv/Product/index/model/Z2000+PRO/target/7abWHw++oHhKKmVViAFMcQ==.html
I was aware of the 16tb spec but I've seen others claim they're using 18tb without issues so wanted to hear what the community has to say ... Why would it only be 16tb? is this what Zidoo tested up to? and if so did they test 18tb or 20tb plus? or only 16tb max? and if so what was the results ...
Not sure if you still need a reply, but I just recently received and setup a Z2000 Pro. I've successfully loaded a 22TB Seagate drive in with no issue (yet) - other than a slight clicking sound from the drive....argh. My data is currently only up to about 14TB, but I'm sure that I'll still be good after passing the 16TB mark...
H! I use with Seagate Exos X 22TB working fine. But: - zidoo dont format - Myself need buying new usb house (ORICO-DS200U39, and formatting with my win PC.
Zidoo Support FAQ says "16TB for 1295 & 1296 18TB for 1619DR." considering the dr and bdm use technically the same board. I'm assuming 18TB for 17.6TB max
Just got an Exos X20 18TB sata drive in today, Testing, first insert and format attempt. shows up "unknown". and that it needs to be formatted. Selected NTFS and hit OK. Said format successfully, but the drive totally disappeared. Will be inserting to PC next to check on partitioning etc. but confirmed the 18TB drive is not supported natively. Which we already knew from forum posts. But had to confirm myself. Consensus says convert disk to GPT+NTFS -.5TB. Will be giving that a shot.
