Disk Quotas

Notes:

• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder often. 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 a maximum of 1 GB.

• Quotas cannot be set for external hard drives connected to the TeraStation and hard drives that are configured as media cartridges.

• If both user and group quotas are configured for a user, the most restrictive quota will always apply.
