Disk Quotas

Notes:

•When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder. The limited space includes the space used for trash.

•Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a Quota is set to 1 GB, each array or drive can use maximum of 1 GB.

•Quotas can’t be set for external USB hard drives connected to the TeraStation, only internal drives.
