Other question, what OS do you use?
And keep in mind:The 2TB limit in Master Boot Record (MBR). But you can use the GPT format with 64bit OS.
And more info for the MBR and GPT https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Mobo made in the last 2 years should support >2T. Older maybe not.
