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.
