Lets start with i just bought 4 Seagate 5TB Enterprise Capacity HDD SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST5000NM0024).
I have a motherboard GA-MA790FXT-UD5P for a AMD AMD Phenom™ II x4 955 processor.
I am trying to Raid the HDD.
The board had a raid controller in it (or at least thats what i am understanding)
the problem i am having is that when i go to the bios to setup the raid it says capacity os 602.93GB (See Link) Link
Does anyone know what i can do to get it to see the full amount?
I dont have a OS on it as im trying to have just these files and then install VMWare.
it i let VMWare ESXi load to the install screen it sees the 4 drives with the full 5TB.
one thing i was thinking of doing was the have it load the raid on it and then see if the VMware will see it correctly but im afraid if i do that it might break or prevent me from using the drives correctly,
Please Help as i am at a loss.
I have searched the internet and found may options on how to setup the raid but no of them talk about my specific issue.
I am aware that the drives have better tech them my board can do, but for that im doing the speed they will bet are just fine.
Thanks for any and all help.
