Is it possible to use 3.0 TB HDD in Windows - 7 ?

Hi,

Is it possible to use 3.0 TB HDD in Windows -7 ?

I have been using 2.0 TB HDD to store my big files. It has Crashed so I want to replace it with a 3.0 TB Western Digital internal HDD.

I do have a 2.0 TB external USB back up HDD ( Seagate GoFlex ) & want to clone it to 3.0 TB HDD to transfer all the files.

I have Acronis True Image Home to clone the backed Up Seagate 2.0 TB GoFlex HDD to new 3.0 TB WD HDD.

Is this possible & how do I go about it before I purchase a new 3.0 TB WD internal HDD ?

Thank You

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Great article.

I think you just saved me the cost of entire 3 TB HDD.

It seems it is more hassels than benifits.

My greatest concern is that I won't be able to clone the backed up 2 TB external HDD to this new 3 TB HDD. If I understood correctly, I will have to copy - paste entire 2 TB data from 2 TB HDD.

Also my Acronis won't clone it since it uses MBR ?

Plus in future I won't be able to clone this new 3 TB HDD to another 3 TB HDD ?
