Do I need UEFI enabled in BIOS for a 4TB external, non-boot disk?

I just want to use a 4TB drive to store data. Do I need to do anything about UEFI in BIOS?

When I Google, it always seems to be talking about boot disks larger than 2TB, so I am not sure if this is needed for non-boot disks (data only, a single 4TB parition).

UEFI is only for boot disks larger than 2TB.

No, you do not need UEFI BIOS to access 4TB data drive - this is true for almost any modern OS - Linux, Windows, Mac.

Actually, if you use modern Linux, you even can boot and make use of all capacity of 4TB drive without using UEFI. I am using it on Ubuntu 12.10 and it works perfectly. Latest version of grub creates first 1MB BIOS boot partition, which does the trick.
