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? |

Maximum Drive Size Allowable?
I believe the 2 Terrabyte limitation in Vista applies to a ststem or Boot disk. This might be worth a read 'Windows and GPT FAQ: Version 1.1' (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device...e/GPT_FAQ.mspx) -- NormCameron |

Maximum Drive Size Allowable?
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. -- SCSIraidGURU Michael A. McKenney 'www.SCSIraidGURU.com' (http://www.SCSIraidGURU.com) |
