Engineering wise, they should have used SAS interface in the first place because the write/read wait state of the half-duplex SATA connection has a wait state that would not be present and have to cache the constant streams while servicing other hard drive demands such as remote video retrieval and past event viewing. Live Viewing does not acesss the disk.
I think it will recognize the disk, but only format it to its highest filesystem storage value. Partitioning it might let you get all of it. You will have to see since I haven't ran across someone putting a bigger disk in these. In the older models, if you put a 10TB in , it only formats it to 8TB
