      I have two spare WD Gold 18TB drives that I would like to put in my RLN36 NVR. I know the specifications say 16TB is the maximum size supported per drive, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to use an 18TB drive and perhaps the NVR could use just 16TB on it.

      These are spare drives I already own, so I would prefer to use them even if I can't use their full capacity. Can Reolink explain the technical limitation preventing me from using larger drives? Is it a firmware support issue? Addressable space? Maybe something that could be expanded with a future firmware update?

      Thank you for any insight you can provide.

          @andrew_974702535254184 There is a member at the Reolink community at Reddit where he installed 3 18T on the RLN36. Some months ago he confirmed that it is still working.
