you need GPT to partition devices larger than 2TB, regardless of the 
parittion size.

me, I use parted....

    # parted /dev/sdc "label gpt"
    # parted /dev/sdc -a none "mkpart primary 512s -1s"

to make a single full disk partition that starts at sector 512, which is 
256K bytes, which is usually a decent boundary for SSDs, large raids, 
and other such devices.
