When will ADD support HDs >2Tb ??

Thread needs solution

In these days where HD sizes are growing and 3-4 TB is becoming "normal" and the first 5-6 Tb disks are coming onto the marketplace, when will ADD get a build or version update to start supporting this, both from the installed version and from the bootable media???
(note that ATI doesn't support disks >4TB from bootable media, probably a limitation from Linux)

Same here. A 4 TB (USB3 connected - external - "Seagate backup+ Desk") is not recognized by ADD and they want payment to talk to them.
I don't pay to be granted the honor of being able to tell Acronis that ADD needs the engine of ATI for recognition of HDDs (up to 4 TB at least).
True Image 2014 does recognize and function with this HDD flawlessly, while ADD doesn't even recognize it.
Also if you look at ADD's help, you'll see that it says MBR volumes are up to 2 TB in size, while this was true until 3-4 years ago. Now, MBR volumes can be 4 TB in size (if not more).
So...
If any Acronis personel member sees this - please report the issue to your tech staff. It (ADD) starts tending towards being obsolete for serious/power users.

Now, Acronis is (in my opinion) the best storage handling experts. This should not be like it is now. Same for putting an option on the support page, to report an issue (not request support, but report an issue). People should not have to pay you to let you know you are F.ing something up :-)
