Yes of course. (I was on a bussinesstrip, sorry about the delay.)
To get 1 TB drives running you need serial access to the unit:
A realy null modem cable (with hardware flow control) and a serial access program like putty. Settings are: 115200 / 8 / none / 1 / rts/cts
You first start the putty-like-programm and then the Snapserver with only one bootable (old) drive in the first (left) slot.
On the screen you see the Snap Server booting. Press <F4> for the CMOS-menue.
There you choose optimal defaults, but before you press 'write into CMOS and boot' you put in your 1000Gig drive into slot 2.
After booting you have a running 1000 gig drive.
Now put in 1000 gig drives into slot 3 and 4. After sycronisation of all theese drives shutdown the server and put drive 2 into slot 1 and the 4th gig drive into slot 2. After the booting process you have a 4TB machine.
Yeppeeh!
