It is (simplified) a hardware limit of the controllers on the motherboard, not a software limit. The Mac only sees a firewire storage device. It does not matter if it is a 10GB or 1.5TB single drive or a 6TB Raid. As long as the enclosure's chipset supports it, your Mac will see any size attached Firewire drive just fine.
