Wd Tv Live + 6Tb External Hard Drive?

I don’t own one, but from a little reading …

A) Looking at the spec sheet, the drive requires 12VDC … so, it’s not gonna work with a “self powered enclosure”   (you’ll need to buy an external AC powered enclosure)

Looking at the spec sheet again …the 750GB & 1TB may work with a self powered USB (5VDC)

B) My WDTV sees the entire 3TB of my WD MyBook

i don’t know if the WDTV will see the entire 6TB of a Red Drive … you may have to create 2x partitions (3TB x 3TB)

Anyways … if someone owns a 6TB Red HDD, please post your experiences here
