Abit BE7 w/Highpoint 372 Raid - Maximum drive size?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage,alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit (More info?)

I was thinking of getting a 250gb drive since I'm running out of room
on my 2x80gb raid and I'm not up to date on what chipsets allow which
size drives..

So will the raid controller recognize these bigger drives? What if I
striped two 250gb - could I have a 500gb drive? I'm still using Win2k
by the way.

Any info appreciated - or you could point me in a direction to look on
the web... Thanks.

with 2.3x Highpoint bios and drivers in use, drives larger than 137 gig (48
bit LBA mode) is supported.
