Boxee won't see 3TB drives currently without some futzing.

See this thread, perhaps starting near the end and working backwards:

(Wait is this for a NAS or connected directly to the Box's USB ports??)

I understand the usb connected WD 3tb drives are a problem at moment, the dive Im asking about connects directly to the router through lan.... wondered if that would make a diffrence or such, I guess thats my real question or if just plain ALL 3tbs+ are wacky with BB...

I can round about way acess a 3 tb drive when its hooked through my comp the bb finds it and streams no prob... sothat was kinda my thinking on the "LIVE" drives... hope that makes sense

Thanks for responses in advance

I'm thinking about getting a Mediasonic 4 bay enclosure that supports 3 TB drives. Would the Boxee Box see them if I attached the enclosure directly to one of the USB ports or would the mere fact that they are 3 TB drives mean they will not work with the Boxee Box now?
