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.
