I actually have a small system with 4 x 320 GB drives in a 3Ware-Cage
connected to a 3Ware SATA Escalade 4-Channel controller as raid 5
running well so far with 893,2GB, targeted as part of an ERPII LAMPP
system. I have also used the already aged SLES 7 with SAN/NAS systems
like EMC² for SAP with TB's of diskspace with no problems. Ran just as
well as Solaris and AIX.
