Windows 7 64bit limit?

Question

I have two disk each with 4 terabytes. I want to create a stripe volume to make one 8 terabytes disk.

Even though you can see them with correct space during boot up, the problem is l cannt format them as one volume.

Another issue is that one disk is showing 2 separate disks each with 2tb on it.

Answer 1

Hello,
Are you using software raid or hardware raid?  You will need to enable UEFI and GPT for drives that are larger than 2.2TB.

Best regards

You are more than welcome!  I had that issue not to long ago when i formatted a work laptop that had a 3TB drive... needless to say it was a sleepless night.  Glad i could help

the UEFI should only be needed for booting from the said disk - standard BIOS/MBR(on a seperate disk) boot will be fine if you are only using the disk for data storage
