So, here's the situation for a Seagate 4TB drive. The TTL worked with this drive. My desktop motherboard has indeed limitations with large drives capacity. See the images.
From the images the BIOS is unable to show the correct size, but the OS shows that it can see the correct drive size. That supports my previous post that as long as you are not trying to boot from from the drive, it does not matter if the BIOS on the motherboard can correctly identify the size. That does not help your situation with the failed drive, but I am just trying to make clear that the BIOS and motherboard have nothing to do with the issue. Some like to think that if the BIOS doesn't show the correct size, then the OS can't either, and that is most definitely not true.
