Yes, I confirm. I had a 1 Tb internal second disk that died (was in fact the system's). I changed it to an external 2.5 Tb, that I use exactly as an external, never disconnected. For me, it is a second 'data disc', but it is not hot as inside the PC.

Just for the fun, in Win 7, if you do have a disc larger than 2 Tb, Win backup can backup your system on it, but is TOTALY incapable of reading it back ! Nice bug, no ?
