test, and H/W
Hi, folks,
This is a test post; to make it of interest, here's an issue you might
want to be aware of, those with not brand new hardware. We've got a few
Dell PE R415s. A 2TB b/u drive on one was getting full, so I went to
replace it with a 3TB drive (a WD Red, not that it matters.) We got the
system in '11.
I built the drive - a GPT, 1 3TB partition, on an R320, from '12.

...I finally talked to Dell, and was told, and I quote,
> <...> three terabyte drives aren't supported the raid controller installed

the SAS 6/iR is a LSI SAS 1068E chip, kind of an old chip (the 1068
stuff was long ago replaced by 2008, 2308, and now 30xx stuff). The SAS
6/iR Dell article I'm looking at is from May 2008. There were no 3TB
drives 7 years ago.
