Hard Drive Size not picking up

[PurpleSnow]

I have a 6TB Western Digital Red NAS drive and it is only picking up as a 1.6tb
has anyone had a problem like this or a way to fix it.
Is there a way to reload the original firmware or reformat or partition the drive to its original size.

Little more info could help, like hardware specs/models. Where is the NAS drive installed on?
Is your Motherboard BIOS up to date?

I haven’t experienced that personally, but I found this.

Is it brand new? Did you choose MBR or GPT when initializing?

It should be GPT for over 2TB drives.

This

More than likely.

And if it was in NAS/Linux box, you are going struggle to partition it in windows, although diskpart should work
