I just bought a 4TB drive and after installing it in my second bay it only shows up as 2TB?

I followed the simple volume wizard! Not that simple it seems.:rage:

You seem to have been on the right track but not sure if you noticed but when you start the wizard it gives you the option of MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) although either will work you can’t use a drive over 2TB with MBR so if you run the wizard again you should just have to choose GPT to use all the space of your new drive.

** oh by the way you need a UEFI motherboard to be able to boot from a GPT disk if you choose to later. BIOS motherboards can’t boot from GPT.
