I am using it and I am not aware of any limitations beyond 2T.

I am just not ready to re-partition it now so I am curious.

That has an 18TiB limit for individual partitions.

It is done easily under Windows, using a Acronis driver . An "unreachable" partition becomes fully RW-able just after the driver installation, an additional Acronis virtual drive appears in device manager list. Even a reboot is not required.

I plan to repartition this 3TB drive but I am just curious. smile
