Good evening! After a death of 2 TB drives (see other post) I have replaced them with a single 4TB drive (the server has 20 drives, so I have plenty of duplication potential). I've never used a drive this size. Are there any potential problems I may face by using a 4TB drive? It will likely be going into an external eSATA enclosure (a T5BM). I have used up to 3TB before with no issues, but I know that sometimes new thresholds bring new challenges to the surface.
