3620 - 8tb disk size support - bios does not recognise 8tb disks.

Hi, 

I got hold of the 3620 as a replacement to the microserver and am in progress of moving my data. So far all works better than expected (like power consumption - 25W-ish, wow!) except the 3620 failing to see any of my 8tb disks. I can see 2tb using same data/power cables no problem, but none of 8tb. The large discs are working fine in the microserver. I had a decent search through the forum and was expecting it to work straight away. I got the latest bios, tried multiple sata ports. 8tb discs are not recognised in bios no matter what I do. Not to mention obviously these are not recognised by the system after. 
Have I missed any bios settings or are there any special requirements needed for it to work? Seen a topic about pci sata card being needed, but its mixed up with confirmation of support for the 3620 for any disk sizes, so I am a bit lost The system is installed on the nvme, but I had an issue with 8tb's before I installed that disk as well.

Many thanks!

Max

As a small update, I have just found out that the WD discs Im using may not be compatible with all PSU's. Never heard of it, but more can be found when googling "wd80edaz 3.3v reset". I am awaiting some adapters, hopefully this will solve it.
Thanks
