Sorry to belabour the point Carl, but the HBA and Driver also applies when using the 3TB Drive as a SECONDARY drive... see the excerpt below from the earlier link I provided... which itself was simplifying the issue.

Early adopters should not disregard the bundled HBA. If you decide to add the Caviar Green 3TB as a secondary drive to your existing system that incorporates, for example, an Intel chipset on a non-UEFI mobo, the third party storage driver may not properly support it.

If the drive is directly attached to the board's SATA port, the storage driver will probably not recognize its full capacity. In addition, any attempt to uninstall the driver could render the system inoperable. Bottom line is to make sure you use the bundled HBA for now.

That's another reason why Djstjp's post earlier about his Netgear NV+ NAS is NOT able to accept 3TB Drives... and similarly, some other NAS's can't take 3TB drives... and some others can accept them.

And it's worth noting that almost all NAS's use Busybox's Tools to put together their bespoke OS's for these NAS Devices.

Some enabled their version of Busybox Linux to accept larger Drives... while other Manufacturers did not.

So, in summary, because we don't know what Meridian have designed into the OS Version on the TwinStore or MD600... we don't know if 3Tb Drives will work.

However, I'd be surprised if a little bit of playing around with Drivers and perhaps internal additions, that the TwinStore couldn't take 3TB Drives... whether Meridian "support" that is of course a different matter.
