I have a 2018 disk and it does not work
it says invalid mbr size

IIRC, mbr-formatted disks are limited to 2TB.  For larger, I think
you need to use gpt and wedges.

Does NetBSD support 3TB ATA drive?

Some very old (decade plus) controllers are not able to support drives
of that size, but any hardware that supports a 3TB ATA drive, NetBSD
should also support it. If you're using somewhat older 3TB drives be
aware there was a period where Seagate 3TB drives were best avoided.
