Anyone know of one that can support GPT (GUID partition tables) not just MBR? I read the pogoplug pro might, but that seems unconfirmed.

Thanks

This seems to suggest it does with a bit of config editing:

Yeah, I read a similar thing, which in all honesty seems a bit hit and miss. There are too many stories of data loss/corruption when forcing these things to read a 3TB+ drive. I was hoping for more of a supported 'out of the box' solution. Thanks though, interesting stuff.

I bought a Iomega iConnect, for 2 large drives, but they just arent supported, with no future plans.

You would think that as drives are getting bigger that this would be more of a priority for these manufacturers.

Maybe something will come out soon.
