Microsoft stelt op haar storage page dat NTFS wel degelijk meer dan 2TB aan kan. Toch wordt er nog vaak naar die limiet verwezen. Wil dat zeggen dat kaarten van Areca (16 of 24 x sata) of highpoint (16x) toch tegen die limiet van 2tb aan lopen en er met trrucjes gewerkt moet worden of mis ik iets?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/storage/getstorfacts.mspxFiction: The maximum NTFS size is too small compared to other file system formats.
Fact: Computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or the Windows Server operating systems all include the advanced NTFS. The table lists file server limits for Windows Server 2003.
Description Limit
Maximum size of a basic volume
2 TB
Maximum size of a dynamic volume
2 TB for simple and mirrored (RAID-1) volumes. Up to 64 TB for spanned and striped (RAID-0) volumes. (2 TB per disk with a maximum of 32 disks per volume.) Up to 62 TB for RAID-5 volumes. (2 TB per disk with a maximum of 32 disks per volume and 2 TB used for parity.)
Maximum size of an NTFS volume
2^32 clusters minus 1 cluster Using a 64-kilobyte (KB) cluster (the maximum NTFS cluster size), the maximum size of an NTFS volume is 256 TB minus 64 KB. Using a 4-KB cluster (the default NTFS cluster size), the maximum size of an NTFS volume is 16 TB minus 4 KB.
Maximum file size on an NTFS volume
16 TB (2^44 bytes) minus 64 KB
