    NTFS will not likely be an issue for a long time. Even 4 KB clusters yeild 16TB-4KB. The problem could only then be BIOS but there should be no issue there as the tables should be setup to run all SATA drives and they are aleady well past the 640KB limit. Biso wise I can see no reason a 1TB drive wouldn't work, it is just the 12mm hight that kills that for now............
