ASUS P5N32-E SLI, raid 0 hard drives too big

[gobronco]

I have 3 WD7502AAEX hard drives that I tried to use in raid 0. When I set them up it severely downsized the size of the array. It was like 64GB total or something like that. Later found out the motherboard limits the array to about 2TB. This meant 3 750GB drives were too large. Anyone know how to make the motherboard see these as smaller drives. I don't need the space. I am only using 500GB out of 1.36TB (using only two of the drives). I could easily pare it WAY down since I have a lot of duplicate data and everything is backed up on my Windows home server and the wife's laptop. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Legacy BIOS cannot use drives larger than 2TB. Some of our older boards support disk unlocker, which will allow larger than 2TB dirves to be used in the OS. Not sure that your board supports that. Navigate to the download page for your board and see if it is avaialable for download. If not,then you're limited to what you've got now.
