PowerEdge R900 4TB RAID
I inherited a PowerEdge R900 server that i want to use as a VM box (hyper-V or ESXi - but that's another thread). it has a PERC 6/i RAID controller. I got 5 4GB SATA hard drives but found out that the PERC 6 only recognizes them as 2TB capacity. further research confirmed the 2TB limilt on PERC 6.
so my question - what are my options to fully leverage 5x 4TB SATA drives in a RAID 5 configuration in the R900? i would prefer to use a DELL (PERC) solution, but am okay with 3rd party RAID controllers.
is there a a viable solution? or do i have to sacrifice half the drive capacity?
THanks
