Default Maximum Drive Size Allowable?

I've got a Vista 64bit Ultimate machine with an Adaptec RAID card in it. I've
tried several array sizes even a (RAID0 4TB), but the maximum that Vista
displays in Disk Management is 2TB. Whuddup with that?

I believe the 2 Terrabyte limitation in Vista applies to a ststem or
Boot disk. This might be worth a read

2TB is a NTFS limitation. WinFS was suppose to be 16EB, 16,000 TB. I
would not recommend a OS partition on RAID 0 of 2 TB. I would do RAID 1
for OS for fault tolerance and recovery from a drive failure or cabling
issue.
