Does the drive actually have 2Tb? I was almost caught out by pendrives that were being sold as 16Gb, but actually were 8Gb, even though Windows reported them as being 16Gb.... the secret was compression software built into the pendrives.

So if you try to put 16Gb on compressed files onto the drive you would have no chance.
