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:
- the card supports drives > 2TB
- 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.
