What's the deal with 3TB drives? I'm seeing lots of random things about how to properly install these drives because of a 2TB limit, but nothing very conclusive (or not written by a 12 year old).
My issue is a bit more complicated probably.
I bought an Seagate 3TB external (it was $30 cheaper than the internal one). I'm going to use it to move from an old system to a new build. The old system is Core2 Duo based, no UEFI BIOS. Win7 x64. I was planning on removing the drive from its external cage, copying a bunch of data from this system to the 3TB drive via sata, and then moving that drive, still internal, to my new Ivy Bridge rig, which does have a UEFI BIOS.
Any thoughts?
