Can I use a 3TB HDD in a Mac Pro?

Is it possible to use a 3 TB HD in the latest Mac Pro?

 

[slughead]

Yes.

 

[phoenixsan]

Yes, if....

You use as storage. But you can run on troubles if want to boot from it.....🙁 🙂

 

[The-Pro]

yep, I have a Western Digital caviar Green 3TB running right now 🙂

 

[JuniperMonkeys]

Yes, and you can boot from it just fine.

You'll only have trouble if you use it with the Apple RAID card, where (IIRC) it shows up as 2.2TB.

Could you elaborate on that?

Why does a 3TB drive present a boot problem?

Thank you all very much.

Yes, I agree. What? I had not heard of this.

I put in a 4T in an old 2008, works perfect
