Wd elements 4tb or 5 tb?

So, I would have a question about whether there is any security risk if the size of a data storage does not fit into the binary system. It might be just an urban legend, but some have raised concerns that it's better to buy 2-4-8 TB data storage, avoiding sizes like 5 or 3 TB as they could be unstable. Perhaps some operating systems have difficulty interpreting them. Is there any basis for this? In this case, would it really be a better decision to choose a 4 TB hard drive?
