Got a 4Tb USB disk working on my B2, is it ok?

Hi

I have a 4Tb external USB disk with a wd green disk inside. I tried to connect it and the web interface would mount it and it even said 4000Gb. I also run the command df, it responded that the disk was mounted and the total size of the disk was correct. I could also see the files on the disk.
I know this size of a disk should not be working on the B2, could I end up corrupting data by writing to the disk maybe?

This is okay. The problem with larger disks is that older u-boot can't access them and thus you cannot use one as internal disk to run your operating system.
