I have 2 drive of 3 TB [HITACHI DESKSTAR] each one in Mirror Raid; using a [HighPoint RocketRAID 620] controller; this is SATA v3.0 at 6GB/s.
Now when you use more than 2.5 TB Drives this work with a new way to manage partition called GPT [Guided Partition Table] unsupported on major versions of Linux, only "SuSE Enterprise, CentOS 6, RedHat 6, and New Versions of Debian; I found a way to make it work on CentOS 5.5 following a guide that I found googling but you need to make a new Rivendell Appliance removing the GPT warning and bypass the File System Setup; once you install with sucess you need install a new Version of Grub; for Boot using a "Rescue Linux Distro", you must be carefull with CentOS autoupdater, because if you update CentOS 5.5* to CentOS 5.7, this will update the kernel modules used by RocketRAID and won't boot anymore... You have to make a partition for booting like; 100 MB And LVM to manage the rest of Space [swap, var, home,root] This is my Experience with BIG HARD Drives Isaac Betancourt Sonido 104.3 FM
