Windows XP space restrictions?

[manifesto316]

I was looking into turning my old Windows XP 32bit machine into a NAS, and I was just wondering if there is a limit to the amount of hard drive space I can put in it. I would like to put at least 4TB into it if not more.
Thanks.

Put as many drives in it as you want, as long as each individual drive is under 2 TB.

XP does not handle modern 4KB segment drives as well as it does older 512B segment drives.

So I would have to use multiple 1Tb drives instead on a couple 2Tb drives?

Check on the size limit - it's like 2^^32 bits, and a 2 TB drive is likely 2*10^9 bits, so a "2TB" drive should probably work well with XP.

Ok thanks a lot
