128,000TB. I believe that's the current 48-bit LBA BIOS limit. Have 4 of those In all seriousness, there comes a limit to how much you want to spend/loose or waste time on. 6TB is tempting but the downtime on recovery is big.

Ok, very useful info there.. I'll do a bit of product research and come back with some results then thanks once again.

First of all, thanks for replying and the advice! Looks like an excellent solution for a ssd cache drive - i've no experience with PMP, that may be something to investigate for external drive arrays. i see there are two pcie slots on the N54L? It doesnt matter which one you connected it to?

has anyone installed a PCIe into with an SSD into these? http://eu.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-PCI-Express-SATA-6-Gbps-Controller-Card~PEXSAT32 comes with low-profile bracket, could be nice to use one of these guys - any experience in these anyone?
