Concerning SSD for MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2009, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 duo

I want to replace the 1TB SSD with a 2TB SSD. Does anyone know if the processor/system can handle 2TB SSD's? Advice or links to this "knowledge" are highly appreciated.

MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.11

Processor has nothing to do with storage capabilities...
