I believe 4TB drives should work with it, only tested up to 2TB though.

2TB will last nearly 10 years before you need to upgrade. Anything higher is overkill since these drives will be a fraction of the cost when you need top upgrade.

We are hesitant to add USB/custom locations for node drive since they are notoriously slow. Would not do this especially if you want to solo mine.

In that case, I agree then. 2TB is plenty.
Still have a few GB's on the 1TB NVMe for now.

How is progress on MCU1 software update?



Had to fix some issues with board detection on older Batch 1/2 units. Should have the image out in a few hours.

FYI we just pushed 2.0.4 out that fixes solo page issues when you find a share higher than 2.1 Billion (it will crash the UI on versions lower than this)

Press the power button and go down to the version number to force an update

Updates now reboot the system, so you will need to refresh the page after it reached 90% complete if you are accessing from another computer(update can take 10-15m so dont do anything until progress reaches 90%).
