Largest HDD supported.

Hi,

I'm currently using 3TB Western Digital Red, GPT/NTFS Partition. Working great.

Has anyone tested bigger size hdd? 4TB, 5TB, 6TB? Please share...

I use Q10 with USB3 Hub - connected 4 x 2GB WD My Book and 2 gigabytes internal 3.5 "HDD is very comfortable ..(total 10 GB immediately available e.g. 1100 mkv files)
But after restarting Q10 itself shifts the path and names of all resources. Kodi can not find any files. (In addition, sometimes the internal HDD not started)
It helps only - power on USB HDD (USB Hub) after starting Q10.
I would like the option of automatic usb delay of about 10 seconds ...

Should I perform formatting of internal HDD before installation or the box will do it itself?

Pre-format as NTFS or EXT2.

Android cannot format hard drives.

We haven't tested it specifically and we have no definitive compatible list, but I see no reason why not.

I tested it and it works. You may wish to add it to the list

Need help on step by step guide how to format a 4TB Seagate HDD via Windows7 for use as internal storage on the Q10.
1) GPT disk or MBR disk
a)  MBR only recognizes 2TB but is detected by the Q10
b)  GPT can maximize 4TB but is not detected by Q10

Thank you in advance.
