3TB Compatibility List
Is there something like a 3TB compatibility list? regards chris
Yes. All 3TB drives would be 4k sector drives. It wasn't necessary for 2TB drives, but more and more of them use it. Making the change to use the 4k sector size with 2TB drives was good preparation for when it would necessary.
Using 3TB drives also requires GPT partitioning (a new feature added in 4.2.16 to add support for 3TB drives). This irreversible update is automatically made when you update to 4.2.16 regardless of what disks are installed and is the reason why you can't downgrade after updating to 4.2.16.
