Hackintosh, 3TB drive compatible?

Are hackintosh like my P35-DS3L compatible with 3TB drives? I know it has something to do with the BIOS/EFI? But is it actually at the hardware level or is the EFI emulation in my hack enough to save the day?

If I connect it with USB 3.0 would I be able to get 3TB?
 
Im pretty sure you need a new mobo with uefi. But i dont think mac supports larger than 1 TB partitions though
 
3TB no problem for osx but will be a problem for windows. do you plan to use both?

not sure if HFS+ is affected by large volumes like ntfs/block size on standard partitions.

i would boot off a small partition and mount the rest personally.
 
All my windows needs are through VM Fusion, I have several USB enclosures with 1.5 TB so I don't think think 1TB is the limit, but I can't speak for the 2.2 TB limit.
 
I have a 4TB software RAID in OS X, so there isn't a problem there. You should be ok. The capacity limits that I read about only affect Windows Pre-7 IIRC
