I have a HP Proliant microserver gen 8 on which I am planning on installing Debian. I was thinking of setting up a raid-1 configuration through the built in raid controller using two Western Digital Red 3TB drives, which would give me a total capacity of 3 TB. However, the server has not got support for UEFI which I read here (3.6.3) would only allow for a boot drive of maximum 2TB. I guess this has to do with the fact that the boot drive needs to be MBR on a BIOS system?
So I was thinking, would it be possible to put /boot on a MBR partition of a few GBs, and have the rest of the system on a GPT partition. Would that work on a BIOS system and is it "Good Practice"? Should I instead go for two 2 TB drives?
