I have a 49TB WHS v1 setup using 30 HDDs... and WHS will not let me add additional disks to the pool. Has anyone exceeded 50TBs or 30 HDDs on WHS yet? If so, I'd greatly appreciate knowing how you did it. If not, have you heard of anyone else running into capacity limits with WHS v1? (I use 4 SuperMicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 Sata cards on a SuperMicro MBD-X7SBE-0 Mobo to support my SATA HDDs... though I don't think my hardware has anything to do with this.)

The user aaronwt here on the AVS Forums has 31 drives. That's the most I've ever seen.

Also, I think I've seen 30 or 31 mentioned as the limit for WHS v1 in a couple different places.

Yes, aaronwt has told me he somehow got to 31 drives, (while others have been limited to 30), but he could not get above that no matter what he tried. All of his data drives are 2TB... which is how he got to 56TB.


So it looks like 30, (or if your lucky 31), is a hard limit. Bummer...


Thanks for the info.
