Don't know if it would make a difference, but are you plugging it into a USB3 port? My lab got new machines about a year and half ago, and I knew machines had USB 3 ports, so I hooked up a 1.5TB usb disk, and got very slow results. Turned out that only 2 of the 6 USB ports are USB 3, others are only USB 2. Don't know if there would be a difference in the size of disk supported by USB 2 versus USB 3.
