When drives exceeding 3TB hit the consumer market, users running legacy operating systems or systems without modern Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) motherboards ran into a wall. Their systems would either fail to recognize the drive or leave a massive portion of the drive as unusable, unallocated space.

In the past, most computer systems used the Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme. MBR has a technical limitation: it cannot address hard drives larger than 2.2 terabytes (TB). While modern systems use UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and the GUID Partition Table (GPT) to handle large drives natively, older systems running Windows XP or legacy Windows Vista/7 often fail to recognize the full capacity of newer, high-capacity Hitachi drives.
