Push came to shove - these things gag on a drive > 2TB.
I ran into this a couple of years ago with some older 3Ware cards. A
firmware update fixed it.
With 3ware cards depending on card model:
1. the card supports drives > 2TB
2. the card as initially released does not support these drives, but there
is firmware update after installation of which the card will supports
drives > 2TB
3. The card does not support drives > 2TB, even with latest available
firmware. (there are really old cards, even though someone may say
hardware doesn't live this long, I do have them in production as well, and
to the credit of 3ware I must say: I've never seen one dead - excluding
abuse/misuse of course).
Just my $0.02

Well the 3Ware cards have reached their end of life for me. I just went
through a horrible build that finally hinged on an incompatibility
between a 3Ware card and a new SuperMicro X10-DRI motherboard. Boots
would just hang. Once I installed a newer LSI MegaRaid card, all my
problems went away.
I have used and depended on 3Ware for a decade. I worked with both the
3Ware vendor, which is Avago, and SuperMicro, there is simply no fix. I
suggest everyone stay away from 3Ware from now on.
