I've been googling, and haven't yet found the answer: does anyone here know if a MegaRAID SAS 2008 (falcon) (rev 03) can handle drives bigger than 2TB?
The following sources say, yes >2TB drives are supported with the latest firmware [0]. Might not be able to get past 3TB drives though [1].

One way to find out is to plug 4TB drive and take a look. Another is to ask one who has the same controller to do the same for you. I am going to play with similar on one of my machine, but it sounds like my controller is different: in my case lspci gives me:
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04 ) Subsystem: Dell PERC 6/i Integrated RAID Controller
Those PERC controllers are limited at supporting 2TB disks.
Sorry, can't answer the question, only what I would do - just my poor experientalist's approach...
