RocketRaid's "Variable Sector Size" feature?

[devn9ll]

Does RocketRaid's "Variable Sector Size" feature really allow greater than 2TB volumes in Windows XP (32 bit)?

in order to have array over 2tb you need to use gpt for partitions, windows xp 32bit doesn't support gpt partitions.

I know what the advertised specs are. I'm asking if someone could confirm via first hand experience that this feature works as advertised.

So no one has experience with this advertised feature on RocketRaid cards?

The PDF doesn't even make it exactly clear what the VSS does. How annoying.
