I have an external 500 gb drive connected via usb to my time capsule. It works great and has for a long time accessing it over my network. I just attached another 1 tb drive, and it came up at first, along with my other drives. it has been giving me problems, and my TC has been slower loading the drive list. Now my new terabyte drive doesnt show up in my TC at all. Ive formatted the drive, restarted the TC, and was wondering if there was any volume size for the TC to process or anything? any help?

There's no limit. You're saying you can't connect to the drive and you don't see it attached in Airport Utility?

Connect it directly to your machine and run Disk Utility to repair it. Maybe it's dead or dying.
