That limitation applies to partitions in an MS-DOS partition table.
Larger drives and systems that boot with UEFI use GPT instead, and
aren't subject to that limitation.

In certain cases isn't there a way to format a drive using the GPT
option? (I believe it's in "Disks") and then you select the drive in
question.....then go to the upper right hand corner and select the
"Format Disk" choice. When it opens you're looking to partition the
drive using the GPT selection and not the MBR-DOS option. This might
allow the entire drive to be seen. Granted it also might take a LONG
TIME to format!...after all its 3TB in size..Hope that helps.
