TI2010 and a Seagate 2 or 3 TB external USB 3.0 drive
Thinking about replacing 500GB external with 2 2 TB Seagate STBV2000100 or 3 TB STBV3000100. Not sure if my Windows 7 or Acronis 2010 will handle? I believe the issue may be around sector size and then I have seen times where Acronis recovery CD will not handle certain drives. Then I would also get a 3.0 controller to add to PC. So 3.0 adds more possible problems.
Oops after some research I find the 3 tb is out- sorry. GUID Partition Tables (GPT) not supported in 2010, maybe that would be a reason to go to 2013, well if it is supported in 2013, I will go check. Looks like 2TB is okay, but for $20.00 more I get that extra 1TB, which I don't really need.

Keep in mind that the 3TB externals may not be GPT. I have several and they're still seen as standard MBR-type drives.

Would that mean they were partitioned, I thought I read somewhere MBR couldn't handle 3TB, but I don't keep on top of this changing environment as well as I use to.
