Considering upgrading Hdds in my studio edition ii

WD External and Portable SSD External SSD for macOS
1

But I have 2 questions. First, my wd my book studio edition ii external harddrive has 2 tb capacity originally. (2x1tb). So will it accept 2x2tb hdds? I do not want to buy two harddrives and see only the same 2 tb capacity because of some firmware limitation.

And secondly, where can i find the list of compatible harddrives for the product? I know they should be WD green drives. But should not I be seeing a list of drive model numbers that are conpatible withthe product?

I tried that and it was my mistake because the firmware on this drive does not support 4TB.Ā

Hello. Thanks for your reply. I wanted to know when you tried that. Maybe a firmware update since you tried that changed the disk to enable that upgrade?

Unfortunately for us, there is not a Firmware that would make this drive support larger drives, it would only accept the same exact models that it was bundled with.Ā

Hello,

I want to do exactly the same thing.

If you search for ā€œupgrade studio iiā€, youā€™ll find some posts of people who were not able to do the upgrade, but also many posts of people who did it successfully.Ā I think Iā€™ll take a chance.Ā Any Caviar Green model should work.

Cheers.
