The device driver mounts the capacity above 2.2TB with another MBR which looks to the system as a second virtual “physical” device.

Two partitions will be necessary because of the MBR limitation. A 3TB disk drive in a legacy BIOS and Window system will need a DiscWizard device driver to access the full capacity of a 3TB disk drive. MBR is the older legacy method of initializing drives, and is only necessary if the drive will need to be accessed on a Windows XP system (XP is incompatible with GPT).

card / hard drive to FAT32, exFAT, NTFS or EXT4 file system in Windows 10/8/7.
