I have seen some mention of firmware problems but the asus.com web site

What are your thoughts?

fdisk -l /dev/sdb
The fdisk utility is known to not work properly on devices larger than 3TB.
You want to use parted (or some gui version like gparted) to create a new
partition table.
I wish that were not the case, but AFAIK this is true, I thought it worked up to
and including 3TB and failed after that, but there are issues.
Note: you may get better results with fdisk turning off compatibility (c) and on
physical block addressing (u). Both commands from memory. Check that the
physical sector size is correct, presumably it's 4k. And in case, when you
create the filesystem, be sure to use appropriate options for the sector size, etc.
You may have to learn partd, which is seriously different.
