I’m checking this mini pc https://www.acemagic.com/products/acemagic-ad08-intel-core-i9-11900h-mini-pc

It says the M2 and SATA ports are limited to 2TB, but I can’t imagine why that’s the case.
Could there be a limit on the motherboard? On the CPU?
If most likely this is done in software (windows) probably it won’t matter since I’m planning to switch to linux.

What I want to avoid is buying it and being unable to use an 8TB drive.

    Maybe it’s only got a bios and not uefi? That’s the only thing I can think of, but I can’t really imagine that’s the case on new hw.

    I bet disks over 2tb would just work fine.
