The largest currently supported SAS drives are 600GB.
There is a limit for RAIDs/Virtual Disks but that is merely theoretical and
can't be met with just 6x HDDs.
But with 6x 600GB HDD in a RAID5 you will not see the full 3TB in OS because
the 600GB have only around 550GB net capacity.

Can someone confirm the disk and volume limits I'd have on a 2950 (the original
version) with a PERC 5/i when using 3.5" SAS disks?
- - Can I stick 600GB disks in one?
- - What limits are there on array sizes (can I stick 6 x 600GB disks in a
RAID-5 and expect to see a 3TB volume in an OS?
Cheers,
Mark.
