So my Mediasonic HFR2-S3B Pro Raid Box was corrupted yesterday by writing more then 2TB of data despite it being a GPT disk. So today I reformatted it via usb into two volumes, 1x2TB and a 800GB volume. I copied some files on to the first and second volume via usb.... then reconnected via esata to see if the volumes are accessible. To my surprise, I could only see the first volume, the 2tb one and the second volume was stated as invalid. Now my question is
1. is esata controlled by the mobo esata bios which causes the 2TB barrier which corrupted my raid.
2. I am guessing the USB is driven by a different driver which allows me to write > 2TB? and thus I should not get corruption with usb?

Any help will be appreciated

The 2 TB limit could be a motherboard limitation.
