T3500 additional HDD

Hi
My T3500 has a 4TB HDD and a 480GB SSD as boot.  I have a spare 4TB HDD which I would like to make use of but understand that there is a system limit of 8TB. Is it possible to add the 2nd 4TB drive and resize it to say 3.5TB ?  Do I just add and format a 3.5TB partition?

Many thanks

    There's been many instances whereas user exceeded spec storage capacity in their Precision and didn't have issues.  This doesn't mean storage capacity could be doubled, but I think you get the jist of it.

    If by chance increasing storage capacity doesn't work, it won't break anything.

    If you were to make a 3.5TB partition, system/OS would still see the whole drive.
