i actually believe thats true. you have to make it GPT or something weird.. and unsure if the boot partition can be GPT..

Nope, should be 3 GBs.
And yes, Windows bootable partitions can't be bigger than 2TB. But all you need to do is make a smaller partition on those drives of like 50GB or so (unless this is an everyday rig and not a server)....but in both cases I would just suggest getting another smaller drive and leave the TBs to storage only.

So I should go with 4x640GB?
Or 3x1TB. What would be faster?
