I just installed a 3TB WD drive for my nightly backups. I saw the option to convert to GPT disk which would allow me a volume larger than 2TB. After formatting, I tested with Blackmagic disk test and found it to be as fast or faster than my g-raid, about 125MBS both read and right, much faster than I have ever gotten from a single disk before. I may use this for my Video drive, and something else for backup.
