They are all MS Windows users, and they say that using a disk larger than 1 T as a boot disk, the performance will be affected. Maybe, that is true with MS Windows and not with Fedora.
Have you seen Windows complain at boot up that you hadn't shut down properly, and it needs to check the drive? (Of course you did shut down properly, *it* screwed up doing so.) Then you have the fun of waiting for it to scan through one hell of a huge drive. More so if your computer likes to regularly screw up.
which does typically not happen
Then there's drive fragmentation. Windows still seems to be horrid for that. I'd hate to have to wait for a 2 TB drive to defrag. Even if I wasn't watching the box, waiting for it to finish, because I wanted to use it, but left it overnight - it'd be at it all night
which has nothing to do with *a disk* larger than 1 TB it's more depending on the partitions you create
in context of Linux it doe snot matter at all
