This drive will be booting Debian so my question is not totally off-topic. Some older P.C. BIOS programs will not boot any drive over 32GB. Can you get a larger drive, partition it with a 32 GB boot partition and expect it to work that way with the remainder of the drive available for more space such as /home?
If I remember correctly, some old BIOS completely hang when detecting a drive bigger than 32 GiB. So such a disk cannot be used for booting with such a BIOS, unless it has a 32-GiB clip jumper or its HPA (host protected area) is set to less than 32 GiB.
