My MPro 2019 has a Pegasus J2i enclosure which currently has an 8TB and a 2TB drive in it. Works fine and need to know what is the biggest size drives I can put in that enclosure?

the largest capacity drives you can find. Promise sells an 18GB drive, and says you can add another 3.5-in form factor (desktop/server -class) drive in the second 'bay'.
the ability to support very large logical-sized drives was added in MacOS X 10.4 Tiger, and that upper limit is HUGE.
Confirming Grant's reply, the Promise web site gives details on recommended drives.
Pegasus Hard Drives Compatibility list Summary (including Pegasus 1/2/3/32 M4, R4i and J2i)
A linked page lists recommended drives, including which have been tested. The largest is 24 TB.
Great to know, I need a lot of storage so adding a 16TB sata to the 8TB thats there already should do fine for now.
Thx for the info.
