4tb drive compatibility?

Can the new 4tb drives be used in a Mac pro?

MacPro (early 2008); MacBook Pro (late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.6)

It appears that disk drivers were revised for 10.4, and there have been no problems with "new technology" (read 4K blocks instead of 0.5K blocks) in Mac OS X at any point since then.
