Trying to put a 4TB NVMe storage into my ZBOOK 17 G6 and getting a macrium failure

[sbonomi]

I have a 1TB  NVMe drive (Crucial) working just fine, I want more storage as I always run out sooner or later. 

I found a 4 TB NVMe (U-NAND 1080 PRO) drive ,and like Tim Allen always says,  bigger is better.   However it appears that the sytem will not deal with anything over 1TB if I read the manual closely.  I have had Macrium fail to clone to the new disk with  larger partitoins.  Macrium can not handle partions over 2TB if on a  MBR disk, but I am on GPT so that limit is no longer an issue.   This is NOT a Macrium issue. 

I choose not to believe this is a valid restriction.   I am sure that when the manual was written, and the board designed, Nothing larger than a Terabyte was available or even dreamed of. The difference between 30 and 32 bits in address space is not going to change the code any, unless someone used a signed integer value for address. 

Any comments will be appreciated, 

Has anyone found a workaround for this on a G6 family ZBOOK?

2TB is a limit from Macrium I think. My suggestion to get around: using your Zbook to make 2 partitions on your new 4TB drives (2TB each) then use  Macrium to clone on just one of them

Hope this helps.
