3 TB drives and Windows, practical test
 

As you know, the arrival of hard drives with higher than 2 TiB / 2.2 TB capacities poses a few compatibility problems, especially in Windows. You have to go from LBA type addressing to Long-LBA and MBR partitioning has to be abandonned for GPT.


To use such a drive as a secondary drive, Windows Vista and 7 are compatible, as is Windows XP 64-bit. Windows XP 32-bit doesn’t support these drives correctly.
