Hi,
I was cheking 9010 MT i7 3770 manual and only 1Tb is indicated.
Is it possible to use a 2Tb HDD?
I can see on internet many 9010 are being sold with 2Tb?
Thanks in advance

It is perfectly fine to use 2 HDD. Dell just does not sell 2TB HDD for this model. For greater than 2 TB HDD you need a different partition scheme (GPT). The MBR is an old style which has limitations that allowing only partition sizes less than 2TB.
