For some kernels (maybe even current ones) it is possible that there is a problem with IO beyond 1 TB. What I would do (if you don't mind overwriting the disk, presumably not if it is just new and doesn't contain important data) is to write a small test program to write the byte offset at the start of every 4kB block on the disk, then read them all back and verify it is correct. This will tell you if there is aliasing in the block device (possibly e.g. an int used instead of __u32 or sector_t).
