I just bought a new internal 3 TB Black HD, and attached it via a USB cable to my Mid-2007 iMac, and tried to format it… however, after formatting it with the iMac disk utility, it only formats to 800 GB, instead of 3 TB.
Is there some limitation with the OS X disk utility to format a 3 TB HD?
Is there a 3rd party utility that would do the job?
Is it because my iMac is an older model?
I am using OS X Yosemite.
I would like to use this new 3 TB drive to replace my Internal 500 GB HD, but need to format it and clone my current HD to this new 3 TB HD
