So I was given the following raid controller card from a friend because I want to build a system here at home that my family can use, along with my parents remotely accessing it.
My question is: is it worth it? Because I can't find, or am having trouble finding out what size drives it can actually handle. I was told that so long as I updated the ram on it to 1gb, I should be able to get the system to recognize drives that are larger than 2tb because even though it handles 8 drives, once in raid, assuming it only sees 2tb per drive, I would have 8tb of usable space which for what I am planning, is really not enough.
Preferably, I would like to put 4tb drives on it but like I said, I don't know if it can.
