I'd start by looking to the disk manufacturer, to provide some advice.
One of the links here, will likely answer your questions. At a guess,
I'd say it'll be easier to make it a "data" drive, than a "boot" drive.

There is a barrier of sorts, at 2.2TB, which is where the fun begins.
If you buy a 2TB drive, then there is nothing to worry about. If you
use a 3TB drive, or make large RAID arrays or the like, then you have
further reading ahead of you.

Western Digital says only systems with new BIOS can go over the 2TB
barrier. That's why I'm looking for a BIOS update or some sort.
