Hello
  I am a bit puzzled that such a recent mobo doesn't support such size and
can only conclude that you must be using the original bios, unless I'm way
off here.  It seems to me that a quick google should find you a bios update
which should enable recognition of drives of this size.  While most newer
controoler cards are likely to have such ability, why spend money, expend
power, add heat, and give up space when you don't have to? It may not be
likely that you can find the updated bios on Asus's website, considering
how quickly all manufacturers dismiss support these days, but I am quite
sure it will be on their FTP site as well as other bios/driver hosting
sites.
Good Luck
Jimmy
