Hi,

Does anyone know what is the maximum disk-capacity that is adressable on a
XP SP2 machine.
(Example : I put in 4 disks of 400Gb in my system and i make one dynamic
volume of 1.6Tb)


Regards,
Jo

Very bad idea - 4 x Disk as RAID 0 means you have 4 times the chances to
have a hardware fault that causes the loss of ALL of the data on the
drives.

If you have 4 x DISKS as RAID 5, you only get 1.2TB, but any single
drive can fail and you don't have any loss of data, but it will run slow
with a faulted drive.
