That would be my guess, a 2TB limitation on what your HDD is in (Drobo?) My 
NASes have a limit of 2TB drives, look on the hardware compatibility list 
for your storage device and see what it will take, there may be a firmware 
update to cope with >2TB disks....

In boxes like the Drobo or some external drive cases they use different
controller systems that get around that 2TB limit. My Drobo had 5 x 2TB
drives currently.
