Do you mean to say that you really can't hook up anything bigger than a 2TB via the 800 port on an Apple desktop? I have a 4TB Western Digital hooked up right now to this Mac Pro 4 core, and while I DETEST Western Digital, the system certainly isn't trying to initialize it.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Apple Firewire 800 Limited to 2TB on external drive?
So I put a 3TB Hitachi drive in my HDX Avastor enclosure and if connected with
firewire 800 it wants to initialize it. I've googled and it seems the apple
firewire 800 is limited to a 2TB size on drives. I saw someone mention GUID
formatting to avoid the limit. My HDX also has esata connectivity and that
works fine. I'd never run into this before. Learn something new every darn
day. Is there a way around the 2TB on firewire 800 limit?
