Hello

I have a modded Tivo and was wondering whether the new firmware might allow internal drivers larger than 2TB? I would like to put a 4TB drive in if possible.

Cheers

Not sure if this helps with your problem. I have read a few threads re JMFS and exceeding 1TB size,but personally have no need to do so.

Yep, JMFS was the tool I used to put a 2TB in. Apparently (https://www.tivocommunity.com/community/index.php?threads/3-tb-tivo-external-drives.468633/#post-8544452) it won't take larger drives though, unless block size can be increased somehow.

4TB are becoming quite cheap now, saw a Seagate surveillance 4TB drive for $129 on ozbargain the other day. Would be nice.
