Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.2 Build 20220317 rel.50456(4555)

I tried connecting a USB hub to the unit, and it doesn't recognize two HDD's so I thought I would buy one larger hdd and connect that.

I connected a GPT formatted hdd and the unit read it perfectly, so this means that in theory any size hdd I can get?

Or is there a limit? Like lets say 4TB?

Hello @SethPDA 

 

You are correct, there is no limitation on the HDD capacity theoretically. Just be sure you've connected an external power to the HDD if it requires using bundled external power.

 

Here is the guidance for your reference to access the HDD connected to the router:
