LSI tells me that their LSI MegaRAID and 3ware controllers (9265-8i & 9271-8iCC) are limited to 3TB drives. Those are the maximum size listed in their test data on compatible drives. This may be tests done before 4, 5, & 6TB drives were available not not repeated on their older controllers when they did come on the market. I don't know.
My question is, has anyone been successful in building a RAID on one of these controller cards using drives larger than 3TB.
Thanks. Cal

LSI did validate both cards with up to 6TB drives this year. Take a look at THIS report on compatibility of drives, although you may need to update your firmware to the required minimum for specific drives. Just insure that your intended drives are listed as supported.
