has this 1TB - 3TB issue been addressed?

What 1TB - 3TB issue? The HR44 comes with a 1TB disk. You can add another disk 2TB up to about 8TB by attaching an external disk unit connected with an ESATA cable.

No, it has not. I also left negative feedback for the reseller but have heard nothing. Returning the unit is problematic as I have already activated it with DirecTV and I really want the HR44. The hard disk is the only problem I have with the unit so I am sending it off to Weaknees to have the drive upgraded.

Hey Melissa I know you can connect hard drives and flash drives but I'm not sure if it'll take a 3TB. It wouldn't hurt to take it to your nearest best buy or electronics center and ask to try it on theirs. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

I had no problems with this issue. It would be a good idea to back up your files prior to installing.

I have 3 TB drives in a raid 5 configuration. No issues yet. We use it primarily for time machine backups.

NO. It appears that 1TB is the max size supported. The v1.06 firmware will support 1.5TB drives, but D-Link has been promising to release it since October 2008. See this post by one of their engineers on their support forum: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=2663.0

I have actually tried it with a 2TB HDD and it worked fine. Loaded up with no issues. It should definitely work with a 3TB HDD, 1TB shouldn't make a difference. You would definitely enjoy it, i sure am.

I wish I could be of help, but so awfully sorry I haven't encountered problems similar to yours since I haven't copied files larger than 3Gig.

I saw this issue with my 4TB drive, but not the 2 - drag out an old copy of OS X like Mountain Lion, or earlier. Boot from the CD and use Disc Utilities to initialize the drive, then reboot normally and you should be good. This was a bug for large drives - but in my experience it did not apply to 2TB

The 4TB version has 2-2TB drives hence 4TB. That is in RAID 0 format. If you setup RAID 1 you only have 2TB usable.Good luck

ABSOLUTELY. I have been using a pair of 3TB, a pair of 4T and a pair of 1 TB seagates for some time with no problems. I do not use any of their special back-up software. (KIK, Ph.D.)

No. It is a 72200 RPM external drive. To my knowledge it is still prohibitively expensive to buy a 1TB solid state and I don't even know if 3TB SSDs are available in the consumer market.

i believe the tower has two disk drives maybe try saving in a different hard drive. 1tb is a on of space.

I have had the drive as my main operating system, as well as mass storage drive for almost a year, and so far, it has been reliable, fast, and quiet. However, as the previous person responded, I am using Linux, which does put less stress on the drive and the file system is a bit better at file allocation, ETC...My experience is very positive in this environment. (Using the 3TB version partitioned into three sections)

did you try one drive at a time? I had the same problem with my drives because they had a signature collision. Had to manually change the signature of one of them. Also, the unit says it will handle 6TB. Not sure it that means 6TB total or will it recognize all 12TB for you.

I'm having a problem with a 3TB drive... shows up as 2.2TB and 800GB. Refer to http://www.pcworld.com/article/235088/everything_you_need_to_know_about_3TB_hard_drives.html

I was wondering the same thing. So basically, it's impossible to purchase a 3TB drive that does not come with a plug? Unfortunate. :/
