        @Tackskull If it's detected by Ubuntu/Debian/other Debian based distros, yes, it should be ok.

          There’s no reason why 4tb won’t work, only that by default retropie installs into folders in the home directory of your user account ... so either you ensure there’s enough space partitioned there, OR you move the directory to a path with more available space and create a link in your home directory to that path.
