I just bought a new T20 server and 2 WD4TB drives. I installed Windows 7 Pro on the 1TB drive supplied with the T20. I then added the 2 4TB drives. I converted the 2 drives to GPT in order to increase the 1.64TB capacity of these drives. I tried using Diskpart and Easeus Partition Master to create the 4TB partition but have not been successful. Easeus shows only 1.71TB as the maximum capacity possible when I try to create a partition. What should I do to be able to use the full 4TB drives? Please help. Thanks.

This does not sound like a FreeNAS question, sir. Suggest you try over at the Lenovo forums.

Moved to offtopic because it has nothing to do with FreeNAS.

As for your problem, have diskpart wipe the partition table and initialize the partitions from there.
