    I know Windows Home Server supports 2, but does anyone know if they support these big guys?

    No. Windows Home Server V1 uses an MBR style partition table, which limits the maximum size of a disk to 2 TB. In addition, these are "Advanced Format" disks, which require special handling to use in the server's storage pool, and which shouldn't be used as a Windows Home Server system drive.
