Area-51m R1, external disk over 2TB

Hi to all. I have the Alienware Area-51m, model 2019, with latest BIOS update and my question is this: I have an external dock base on USB 3.1. Until now I have been connecting internal SATA drives up to 1TB and the laptop sees them as normal. If I buy a SATA disk of 2TB or 4TB and connect it to the dock will the laptop see the disk and be able to transfer files as normal or because the capacity will be larger than 1TB it will not recognise it at all? Thanks in advance for any replies.
