3TB drives are new technology - there are limitations all over the place...

so why not offer the 2 TB instead?
Apple's stumbling left and right here...

They do offer a 1TB Fusion I think

Using Disk Utility, you can add one partition to the hard disk on Fusion Drive. Once you add the partition, the "plus" symbol in Disk Utility to add additional partitions will be grayed out. You cannot partition the Flash storage. If I create a hard disk partition is it part of Fusion Drive? The additional partition is not part of Fusion Drive. The new partition is a separate volume that is physically located on the hard disk drive. Can I add a Windows partition? You can create one additional partition on the hard disk with Fusion Drive. You can create either a Mac OS X partition or a Windows partition. If creating a Windows partition, use Boot Camp Assistant to create it, not Disk Utility. From the Go menu, choose Utilities. Then, double-click Boot Camp Assistant and follow the onscreen instructions. For more information on Boot Camp see the Boot Camp support page. Note: Boot Camp Assistant is not supported at this time on 3TB hard drive configurations.

i'm very curious why the drive size matters as far as the partitions are concerned.
