SATA upgrade, will my drive drive work?

[cPix]

Hi! So i've ordered equipment for upgrading my xbox HD with sata. I know the limit is 2TB, though i only have a 4tb disk at the moment, is it possible for the xbox to use the 4tb, but just format it as 4tb, or will it not be recognized at all?

Afaik, if you format it, it'll just recognise 2TB.
FATX has a 2TB limit.

There is of course the off chance it doesn't even detect the drive.
With a good IDE-SATA adaptor, you shouldn't face that issue.

Thanks! I hope it will format to 2TB

Let me know if it worked.
Specify the adaptor you used and the HDD, perhaps somewhere in the future, someone with the same question might stumble upon this thread.
